Based on true events during World War II in 1943, the film follows two intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Macfadyen), who conceived a plan that was dubbed Operation Mincemeat. They would mislead the Nazis into believing that the Allied forces planned to attack southern Europe through Greece, instead of Sicily. His plan was to equip a corpse with misleading papers and drop him at sea off the southern coast of Spain, where Nazi spies would take the bait.
