A tense, morally weighty espionage thriller about a journalist pursuing Nazi war criminals hidden within post-war German society, driven by investigation and the specter of organized evil.

Following the suicide of an elderly Jewish man, investigative journalist Peter Miller sets out to hunt down an SS Captain and former concentration camp commander. In doing so he discovers that, despite allegations of war crimes, the former commander has become a man of importance in industry in post-war Germany, protected from prosecution by a powerful organisation of former SS members called Odessa.
