Britain in 1940 is the only major European power left to stand against the Nazi blitzkrieg. Foreigners are being locked up, young men are joining up, and invasion is expected any day. The south coast of England is especially tense since it would probably the site of any Nazi landing. Even in these uncertain times, crime still goes on, even murder. And Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle (Kitchen) is there to investigate and find the culprit. He's helped by his plucky driver Samantha Stewart (Weeks) and his sergeant Paul Milner (Howell), who came back from the failed defense of Sweden minus one leg. Together they probe crimes that are committed in the opportunities that the war unintentionally provides, but are motivated by the fear and greed that lurks in the hearts of everyone. This will be Foyle's War.
