1945: a lost German bomber crashes on the
Vatnajokull glacier in Iceland. Inexplicably, in
the midst of World War Two, there are both
German and American officers on board. One of
the senior German officers claims that their
best chance of survival is to try to walk to the
nearest farm and sets off, a briefcase
handcuffed to his wrist. 1999, mid-winter, and
the US Army is secretively trying to remove an
aeroplane from the Vatnajokull glacier. By
coincidence two young Icelanders become involved
- but will pay with their lives. Before they are
captured, one of the two contacts his sister,
Kristin, who will not rest until she discovers
the truth of her brother's fate. Her pursuit
puts her in great danger, leading her on a long
and hazardous journey in search of the key to
the riddle about Operation Napoleon.
