Description
November 1943: Die deutsche Abwehr plant das wohl spektakulärste Unternehmen des Zweiten Weltkrieges. US-Präsident Roosevelt und der britische Premier-Minister Churchill sollen während ihrer Geheimkonferenz in Kairo ermordet werden. Auf diese Weise könnte die geplante Invasion der Alliierten in der Normandie ? eines der wichtigsten Konferenzthemen ? verhindert werden. Als der amerikanische Geheimdienst von dieser Mission erfährt, beginnt die fieberhafte Suche nach den Attentätern. Harry Weaver, Mitarbeiter des amerikanischen Nachrichtendienstes, bleiben nur wenige Tage, das feindliche Team unschädlich zu machen. Doch diesem gehören zwei Menschen an, mit denen er vor dem Krieg einen Freundschaftspakt geschlossen hat.
