Danni Manley plans to adapt the book "Heroes" by Robert Cormier into a film. The story follows a boy named Francis who grows up in a small town in France. As a teenager, his girlfriend Nicole is raped by a war hero in the town. Francis then enlists in the war to seek revenge but ends up disfigured. In the present day, the now disfigured Francis visits Nicole in New York to confront her rapist. The adaptation will remain faithful to the three main characters and two location settings in the book: the French town and battlefields. It will be a historical drama from the period aiming to realistically portray the emotions and events from World War 2.
