      In 1939, Henrik Kauffmann is serving
      his post in Washington as the Danish
      Ambassador to the United States. With
      an opulent lifestyle and access to his

      nation’s gold reserves, Kauffmann is living
      a grand life in America secured by his
      charm and political status. When German
      troops invade and occupy Denmark,
      Kauffman declares himself to be the only
      true representative of a free Denmark
      in opposition to the Nazis. In the face
      of growing threats and accusations of
      treason from the ‘Official’ government
      of Denmark, Kauffmann attempts to
      gain the trust of US President Franklin
      D. Roosevelt. Kauffmann must gamble
      his legacy, his family, and the trust of his
      nation, to resist the Nazi occupation.
