Established early in the Second World War by Britain's Special Operations Executive on the Canadian shore of Lake Ontario, it trained dozens of Americans and Canadians in the arts of secret war including paramilitary skills, close combat, disguise, secret ciphers, propaganda, and undercover operations. Many of the Camp's graduates became secret agents in enemy-occupied Europe and Asia. Others were sent to South or Central America to counter Nazi espionage and subversion against the allied war effort. Still others worked at the Camp's HYDRA radio station responsible for transmitting some of the most sensitive intelligence material to pass between secret services across the Atlantic. Based on eyewitness accounts and secret files in London, Washington, and Ottawa, the cast of this real life spy adventure also includes Sir William Stephenson (‘Intrepid'), OSS chief ‘Wild Bill' Donovan, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
