June 1945. Hitler has triumphed, Britain is under German occupation and America cowers under the threat of nuclear attack. The moment where everything changed is recorded by a young soldier, David Erskine, who saw a mushroom cloud rise over London: an atomic bomb detonated by the Germans in a last desperate roll of the dice. Now, Erskine and his fiancée are on the run to the town of St Andrews, where the occupying forces have set up a secret laboratory. When its purpose becomes clear, David and his small but trusted band of allies most adopt a desperate plan to thwart Nazi domination.
