Set during World War II, the narrative delves into the German Intelligence Service's covert operations in Iceland, where specially-trained agents were deployed to gather crucial military intelligence. Most agents were captured shortly after landing, leading to their interrogation by MI5 in London. Instead of facing execution, they shared their life stories and training experiences. Notably, three agents became double agents, relaying British misinformation to mislead the Germans about Arctic operations and a fictitious Allied invasion of Norway.
