Drama involving the real-life Nazi war criminal, Josef Mengele, who 'disappeared' to South America, and the efforts of Ezra Lieberman, an ageing Jewish Nazi-hunter and a younger man to track him down. They believe that Hitler's scientists perfected genetic cloning, and have impregnated a number of women across the world with Hitler's children, in an attempt to recreate the Fuhrer.
