In April 1945, as allied bombs reduced Hamburg to rubble, Otto Heine is press-ganged into the German navy and finds himself aboard the battleship "Hindenberg", under orders to sail to America in one of the Reich's last attempts to reclaim the upper hand in the war.

Captain Erich Bach and most of his crew believe their mission is to shell Washington, but another officer and Otto know that many of the shells on board are dummies filled with gold. When Hitler commits suicide there is mutiny and Otto, determined to take the gold for himself, thinks he can beach the ship in Greenland and escape with the treasure. But the elements, lack of seamanship and shortage of fuel means only he gets away with his life, leaving the ship and its secrets in the ice.

Now, fifty-five years later, an entrepreneur is determined to free the great battleship. This news spurs Otto into action, and it brings out the German government's lawyers who believe the ship is rightly theirs. Unknown to anyone else it also propels another player into the frame: Erich Bach's grandson.
