Synopsis

Jefferson Davis and his confidantes are convinced there are spies with access to high-level communications. They do not suspect a primary source, Mary Bowser, a slave servant operating from within the Davis household. With Elizabeth Van Lew, the abolitionist spy leader in Richmond as go-between, members of the Underground Railroad cross enemy lines to deliver intelligence to Union Command. Not only on battle plans, but of a sweeping enterprise secretly funded by Confederate leadership to change the trajectory of the war by inciting insurrection in northern cities. As the search for the spy intensifies, Mary must race against the clock to discover all she can about a series of terrorist plots before her cover is blown.

Based on real people and real events, Secret Army Behind Enemy Lines examines the clandestine network of the most unlikely group of agents led by women from within the capital of the Confederacy. Despite cultural and governmental barriers, and with no formal training in spy craft, Mary Bowser, Elizabeth Van Lew, and their secret army make this the most successful spy ring during the American Civil War.
