The story of Shell, one of several spy networks operating in Portugal during the Second World War. Directed by the British who operated in Portugal between 1941 and 1942, it had a plan to destroy infrastructures and act as a counterintelligence unit in case the country was invaded by the Germans.

Shadowy intelligence networks turn neutral Portugal into a claustrophobic chessboard during the height of the Second World War. This tense drama captures the desperate race to sabotage German infrastructure before an invasion can take hold.
