In 1969 a young chemist, Arthur Weiss, is recruited by an anti-war group to convert uranium into plutonium for the construction of a nuclear bomb. Arthur is told the bomb's only purpose is to establish a bargaining position with the government-that it will not be detonated. But as Arthur's involvement deepens, particularly relative to the group's attractive leader, Billie Lee, his life begins to spin out of control.
