February, 1939. In New York City, a group draped in Nazi flags barges into a bar. Drunk, Charles Mossman takes a swing at one with tragic results and a torrent of unintended consequences follows. As the threat of war grows, and fears of a "fifth column" - German spies embedded into everyday life - are everywhere, Charles puts together that the seemingly amiable Swiss couple across the hall may be part of a sinister conspiracy. When Pearl Harbor is attacked and America can no longer sit on the sideline, that conspiracy turns into a deadly threat with Charles the only one who can see it.
