The story begins when a team of six Israeli agents is ambushed on the shore of a European lake where they have just recovered four steel boxes sunk in the lake by Nazi soldiers thirty years before as the Third Reich crumbled. Three of the boxes contain gold; one box is filled with files that can identify Nazis who escaped and now live behind new identities, some even with new faces. That box and the sixth Israeli agent have disappeared. The Neo-Nazis, Israelis, Russians and many others want that box and that agent. So the hunt begins.
