They wanted to live history. They never imagined they would have to survive it.
Berlin, 2024. Philipp, Andreas, and Stefan are three disaffected teenagers, bonded by their friendship and a dangerous obsession with the romanticized history of the Third Reich. During one last expedition to find a fabled Nazi stash in the Bavarian woods, they discover a hidden cave...and step through a crack in time.
They emerge in 1942.
Terrified, sick, and starving, they are taken into the clutches of the very regime they idolized. Their savior is Obersturmführer Weiss, a cunning intelligence officer who sees their fanatical knowledge as the ultimate opportunity. He offers them protection, purpose, and then a black uniform within the system they admire.
But the adventure they dreamed of is a nightmare. Under Weiss' manipulation, the boys evolve from history fanatics into active participants in the Nazi machinery. They are forced to trade their morals for survival, their idealism for a hollow sense of power, and their souls for the approval of Weiss.
As the war grinds toward its inevitable, bloody conclusion, to save the man who destroyed them, they must commit the ultimate betrayal. But in the collapsing Third Reich, loyalty is a liability, and the only thing more dangerous than being an enemy of the state is being its discarded tool.
