Noel Holcroft is a foreign-born American citizen working in New York as an architect. In Geneva he meets with a respected Swiss banker who tells him he has been designated to be executor of a huge 4 1/2 billion dollar trust fund designed to make reparations for the war crimes of the Nazis. Holcroft’s father, who committed suicide in 1945, was a key Hitler financial advisor who became conscience-stricken about German war atrocities, turned against the Fuehrer, and covertly diverted Nazi funds to a secret Swiss account. Under the terms of the covenant Holcroft must locate the sons of his father’s two associates so they can jointly activate their fathers’ account. They battle the sinister forces seem to be trying to prevent them from signing the document as it is believed that it will be used to establish a Fourth Reich. (fonte: imdb)

Noel Holcroft sta per firmare l'ordine di esecuzione per il mondo. I figli dei nazisti sono diventati adulti ma lui trasmetterà la loro eredità in due miliardi e mezzo di odio, e basterà una sua firma perché questo avvenga. L'ingente somma era stata a suo tempo versata dal generale delle SS Clausen, disgustato dal regime nazista e morto a Berlino in un bunker nel 1945. Lo scopo era riscattare i crimini del terzo reich. Ma quando il figlio dell'uomo viene informato della somma, la sua vita viene sconvolta del tutto.
