Storia
During World War II in March of 1943, the Germans change their Enigma Code, making it impossible for British cryptoanalysts to decipher messages sent to their submarines. The authorities recruit Tom Jericho, a brilliant young mathematician, to help break the new code. Meanwhile, Claire, Tom's lover, has mysteriously disappeared. As Tom and his colleagues work tirelessly to crack the Enigma code again, they suspect there might be a spy within their ranks who tipped off the Germans about their code-breaking methods. To investigate Claire's disappearance and possible betrayal, Tom enlists the help of her best friend, Hester Wallace.
