Only the rather unpopular Winston Churchill is believed to be capable of managing the seemingly hopeless situation. He takes office but soon finds himself pressured by the public and government members to negotiate a peace treaty with the seemingly unstoppable Nazis. However, through his extraordinary foresight and integrity, Churchill manages to hold on to his convictions and fight for the freedom of his nation. As the Battle of Britain ignites and the German invasion looms, the overwhelmed British public, the skeptical king, and even his own party turn against Churchill. How will he succeed in uniting the country in this precarious moment of his career?.
