The Regent tries to navigate his country between the growing terror of Nazi Germany and the oppressive threat of communist Russia. He is ultimately faced with ceding power to another political party or accepting the execution of his son. As the crisis unfolds, thousands of his citizens are forced underground or put into ghettos.

While scouting locations in Budapest, the Liberty Studios production team stopped in a café where the stars of BBC's Robin Hood, including Jonas Armstrong, were relaxing. Little did they know, a year later, they would cast Armstrong as the lead role in "Walking with the Enemy."
