Through dogged perseverance, Vera peels back the layers of secrecy, exposing the ultimate tragedy that befell Noor Inayat Khan.

In this gripping, emotional rollercoaster that transports you to a time of unfathomable courage and sacrifice, Rupande Mehta reveals the incredible bravery and unbreakable bonds that defined two incredible women in one of history's darkest hours.
