1942. America is at war. The Nazis are the enemy. The Soviets are our allies. Or are they? In New York City, a tough Greek-American photojournalist, Angela Calomiris, is recruited by the FBI to infiltrate a communist cell and spy for the government. Embedded in a midtown Manhattan branch she befriends the American Communists and learns about their vision for the future of America. Along the way she meets the intriguing party official, Leona. The two are instantly attracted to each other and begin a love affair that will reveal secrets, challenge beliefs and propel Angela into a world of espionage, doubt and fear. The play is based on the real life story of Miss Calomiris, a key witness in the sensational trial of the "Communist 11" who were convicted of trying to overthrow the U.S. government in 1949.
