β¦ Synopsis
In the closing months of WWII, as one war grinds to an end in the rubble of Nazi Germany, all eyes turn to the next οΏ½coldοΏ½ one. The Americans, the Russians, and the British know the future belongs to whomever can grab the new rockets, jet airplanes, synthetic fuels and other οΏ½wonder weaponsοΏ½ that Hitler unleashed upon them. Set against that dramatic panorama, it is also the story of the torrid but impossible love affair between Ed Scanlon, a brilliant, young, American OSS agent and Hanni Steiner, the gritty, street-smart leader of the communist resistance cell in Leipzig. They now find themselves on opposite ends of an international tug of war over the plans for GermanyοΏ½s revolutionary Me-262 jet fighter and the scientists who designed and built it. The stakes could not be higher. Once bitter enemies are tomorrowοΏ½s allies, old friends are not to be trusted, lies and double-dealing are the norm.
