Set in Marville, a women's internment camp in Nazi-occupied France, Two Thousand Women is the exciting tale of a group of British women from varied backgrounds brought together under extraordinary circumstances.
Forced to live together, the women have to put aside their social differences and band together to protect not just themselves, but three survivors from a British bomber shot down over France who bail out and land right in the middle of the camp's grounds. The women POWs swiftly hide the British airmen, but discovery is only ever seconds away and the tension mounting between them is palpable - especially when they discover that a Nazi spy lurks amongst them. When a lustful guard is killed by one of the airmen, a breakout seems the only option...
