Ernst Vogler is a 26-year-old German in 1938, when he is sent to Rome by his employer - the Third Reich's Sonderprojekte, which is collecting great art for Hitler's collection - on a mission to pick up The Discus Thrower, a priceless Roman statue. It's a simple job. On his return, the two Italian brothers accompanying him as his drivers take a dangerous detour down a different path - and Vogler realises he will be lucky to escape with his life. Control of the assignment is rapidly lost as life, love and everything else imaginable starts to get in the way.
