It is 1945, and Hungarian Jewish physicist August Snow is on trial at the International War Crimes Court for patenting a technology that has been proven capable of destroying the entire world. He instigated humanity's ability to decide its death. Then he profited from the inevitable, but the initial reason for his research was to devise a way to cure his daughter, Leora, of cancer. August's wife, June, insists she had nothing to do with the bomb--after all, she was forced to give up her career as a doctor for being pregnant, lost her place in the public sphere, and in the early days of motherhood, she almost lost her mind, too.
