Berlin, 1934. Ilse Meyer is the aristocratic wife of a scientist, Jurgen, who is recruited for Hitler's new rocket program. Huntsville, Alabama, 1949. Jurgen is one of hundreds of Nazi scientists offered pardons and taken to the US to work for the CIA's fledgling space program. Ilse confesses to a neighbour about Jurgen's membership in the SS. When the scandalous news about the Meyer family's affiliation with the Nazi party spreads, idle gossip turns to bitter rage, and the act of violence that results will tear apart a community and a family before the truth is finally revealed.
