Synopsis
On January 5, 1895, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a young Jewish soldier, was accused of spying for Germany and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island. Among the witnesses is Georges Picquart, who has been promoted to run the military counter-espionage unit. But when Picquart discovers that secret information is still being supplied to the Germans, he is drawn into a dangerous maze of fraud and corruption that threatens not only his honour, but also his life.
