Opis

Summer of 1933 and the lives of three couples are forever fused when English merchant navy Captain Edgar Moulton on a ritual visit to London's naval museum with his wife PJ meets Günther, a younger version of himself. Edgar reveals to Gunther an enigmatic code to living the good life. Meantime, in another part of London, Günther's fiancée, Ingeborg is attacked by English fascists but is saved by Italo-Brits, Fortunato and Florence. 1940 and the phoney war has become terrifyingly real. Pacifist Edgar is requisitioned along with his ship the Arandora Star, Günther has become Kapitänleutnant of Uboat U47 and following Mussolini's declaration of war, avowed anti-fascist Fortunato has been interned by his adopted country who now seek his help to strike back. Dead Reckoning is based on the true stories of how during WWII Britain interned its friends and those who sought refuge.
