As the Second World War draws to a close, a mysterious rocket program threatens to upend the fragile peace. Amidst the chaos, a motley crew of soldiers, scientists, and outcasts navigate a labyrinth of paranoia, coincidence, and the supernatural. From the ruins of Nazi Germany to the halls of power, their fates intertwine in a high-stakes chase for answers that will challenge the very fabric of reality. At the heart of it all, one man's search for meaning in the wake of unimaginable loss.
