During World War II in 1944, German spy Henry Faber, code-named 'The Needle,' finds himself relentlessly pursued by MI5 agents due to his possession of vital information about D-Day. In an attempt to evade capture and escape Britain with this intelligence, Faber takes refuge on Storm Island, a harshly inhospitable and sparsely inhabited island off the coast of northern Scotland. While there, he encounters Anna, a young woman living alone with her crippled husband, Kenneth. Faber is forced to spend time with them while waiting for a German U-boat to pick him up after D-Day. The isolated setting allows for tension and suspicion to build between Faber and his temporary hosts.
