London at the beginning of the Second World War. Simon Batley actually never wants to have anything to do with the British secret service again. Years earlier, as a physics student in Berlin, he worked for them, naively and undercover. It led to a catastrophe that Batley never understood, and his great love for his fellow student Hedi von Treyden ended abruptly. But the war changes everything. Agent Batley discovers a new German weapon with unprecedented destructive power. Soon afterwards, instructed by Niels Bohr and Rudolf Hess, he travels to the Third Reich. He wants to track down the mysterious Hans Kammler: the planner of Mittelbau-Dora is the master of the German secret weapons program and one of the most powerful Nazis. While Batley tries to get to the German uranium before the Soviets and the USA, he is also following a personal mission: he wants to find Hedi again and finally understand what happened in Berlin back then.
