Synopsis:

In World War II they were code-breakers at Bletchley Park; brilliant, invaluable members of an elite team whose task was to crack German intelligence. Their success was their downfall. Seven years after helping to win the war they are housewives, mothers, girlfriends, shadows. Bound to the Official Secrets Act, their part in the Allied victory cannot be told; their finest abilities covered in dust sheets of security never to be seen again - unless... Susan has been reading newspapers, listening to the radio, following news of a serial killer targeting young women. She believes she can flesh out the pattern that will reveal his identity, but she can't do it alone. Calling on her companions from Bletchley, she persuades them to join her. But can yesterday's code breakers become today's detectives? All it will take is following the trail, breaking the code - and possibly risking their lives.

During WWII, men and women working at Bletchley Park played a vital role, breaking the codes used by the German military. Nine years later, former codebreaker Susan is a housewife and mother, but she continues to recognize patterns that surround her in everyday life. When a series of women are brutally murdered around London, Susan sees a pattern emerging. However, when a police-search for what Susan believes to be an overlooked victim turns up nothing, she realizes she cannot solve this puzzle alone. Enlisting three former Bletchley Park colleagues: Millie, Lucy, and Jean; Susan knows they have little time to break this code before the killer strikes again.

In 1952, four women who worked at the wartime code-breaking center, Bletchley Park, reunite to track down a serial killer.
