Germany, 1942. When Hitler's leading nuclear physicists hesitate to develop an atom bomb, SS officer Max Heldorf assembles a shadow team of physicists - whose cooperation is guaranteed through an ingeniously devious plan - to build, in a remote location, the weapon that will ensure victory for Germany. On the project team is Hannah Goldmann, a brilliant physicist who becomes the lynchpin of the operation - and also a major distraction to Heldorf, who is obsessed by her beauty.
Sweden and Denmark, 1942. Christina Lindgren, a courier for the OSS, falls afoul of the Gestapo and is trapped with vital intelligence - and an injured stranger, Jorgen Sorensen, a member of the Danish Resistance. They pool their strengths to escape and decide to act on the information in Christina's intelligence to organize the greatest resistance operation of all time - the rescue of all of Denmark's Jews. Preoccupied with the dangers of their undertaking, made even more perilous by a traitor in their midst, neither realizes that they have inadvertently come across a secret of monumental proportions: the plans for an atom bomb for Hitler.
