So much has changed in so little time, but Dr. Martel is the angel that soars above by doing what he believes is right even if it means an innocent man goes to prison.

Doctor Martel is emphatic. He will not rejoin the Advisory Controlling Committee. There is nothing that will change his mind. Or is there? When sabotage hits George Trenett's facility, German military officials retaliate by ordering that the local water be shut off. To make matters worse, locals hate Trenett for supplying food to the German military, and profiting quite nicely from the arrangement. A Lack of water would cripple Guernsey, Dr. Martel rages at officials. His appeals are powerless. The only hope he has of changing their minds is to approach them as a member of the Controlling Committee. And he does. The fate of Guernsey's water supply rests on Dr. Martel's passionate plea before Generalmajor Müller.
