At a time when girls' aspirations are limited, Lucy and Bert seek adventure, resolving to find and solve the small mysteries of Riverton, North Carolina. Their chance arises when a man goes missing, a woman goes crazy, and a mystic gives the girls a mystery to solve that takes them beyond the ordinary. This quiet town becomes a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp, and the once gentle place now ripples with underlying tension. More men go missing. And together the girls embark on a journey to answer the ultimate question: Do they know who the enemy really is?
