Norway, 1940: On the run from invading Nazis, eleven-year-old Ivar is trained as a spy by the Norwegian resistance for a mission that could alter the path of the war: he is to infiltrate a secret mountain facility where the Nazis are attempting to breed a race of Aryan superbeings. But when he comes face to face with the man who killed his family, revenge becomes the only mission possible.
Norway, present day: Henrik Bonde, a far-right politician, is poised to seize power with an audacious move that depends on a haul of Nazi gold aboard a sunken German battleship. Determined to stop him are an ancient convict and a down-and-out former Royal Engineer, desperate to outwit the Oslo Police who are pursuing a case that will uncover Norway's shadowy wartime past.
