It is 1937 and Otto Eckhart, an aimless young historian, is summoned to the seat of power in Berlin. Tasked with an ominous and impossible assignment - to locate the Holy Grail and bring it back for the glory of Nazi Germany - the feckless dreamer must come of age, find his courage and use all his ingenuity to defeat his private demons and the dark power of the Third Reich. And will it all end happily with the bold and beautiful woman who becomes embroiled in his quest?
