Synopsis:

Set in a technologically advanced early 20th century, the series unfolds against a backdrop of international tension and veiled conflict. The discovery of Cavorite has reshaped the geopolitical landscape, dividing London and fueling a silent war between the Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Albion. Within this environment, a cadre of young women from an elite academy operate as covert operatives for the Commonwealth.

Led by the resourceful Dorothy, this team leverages their diverse skills – ranging from piloting expertise to deception and combat proficiency – to navigate a world rife with intrigue. Each member brings unique abilities to bear in missions demanding stealth and infiltration. The narrative emphasizes the psychological toll of espionage and survival within a clandestine war, highlighting themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the complexities of duty amidst political machinations. Their focus remains firmly on mission completion, even as they grapple with the moral ambiguities of their roles.
