Overview

It is June 1940. With the German occupation of Norway complete and Paris falling, Europe is in chaos. Refugees are fleeing in all directions, finding all exits blocked. There is one way out: the Arctic harbor town of Liinahamari, a forgotten port on Finland's northern coast. Among the refugees fleeing up the Arctic Ocean Highway are the Crown Princess of Norway and her three children. A ship, The Queen of the North, will be waiting for the refugees at Liinahamari, arranged by personal order of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who has developed a fondness for the Crown Princess of Norway that will last until his death. The Queen of the North is scheduled to depart on August 16, 1940. The ship will also be expecting an item of significant interest to the US Navy. Smuggled from a Swedish armament works by an unlikely group of Anglos, Swedes, and Poles, an object is to be concealed in its hold that could very well change the course of the war in the Atlantic... Based on real events, Foxfire is the story of a military operation that actually took place in 1940. Part spy thriller, part love story, and part celebration of an extraordinary landscape, Foxfire will take you on an epic journey up the Arctic Ocean Highway to a place now lost to history.
