A taut pre-war thriller about a hunter hunted, built on sustained paranoia and moral ambiguity as a man flees Nazi assassins across London.

Shortly before the start of WW2, renowned British big-game hunter Alan Thorndike, vacationing in Bavaria, has Hitler in his gun sight. He is captured, beaten, left for dead, and escapes back to London where he is hounded by Nazi agents and aided by a young woman.
