The year is 1914. War has just been declared in Great Britain. For the young men this means they called to enlist. This includes 19 year old Thomas Smith, much to his identical twin sister's dismay. Emma hates the very thought of war breaking out resulting in pointless killing. She decides to take matters into her own hands. Slipping her brother some sleeping pills she takes his place, impersonating a man and is sent to the Front Line in France. Now she is here she has no idea where to begin but her Company is pretty hard hit during a day of attacks giving Emma the perfect opportunity to raise doubts in the soldier's minds of why they're fighting. She is caught by her commanding officer and is sent on a mission into the heart of Germany as punishment. Her mission is to infiltrate a German base and report back what their plans were but she is captured and thrown into a Prisoner of War camp. Here she meets fellow soldiers who have lost all faith in their country after seeing so much bloodshed and little progress and Emma uses this to her advantage to spread the word that the war is pointless. Eventually this soon affects the German guards and word begins to spread as both the prisoners and the guards begin to realize that this war would be better if it stopped. Over the next months this conspiracy spread to the Front Lines and some of the trenches on the German side refused to fight completely. Eventually this refusal to fight is traced back to Emma and she is executed, her true identity never revealed. Just a nameless soldier that opened the eyes of many.
