Synopsis

In the wake of a nuclear war between the Nazi German Empire and the alien Race, the fallout of the conflict ripples through both worlds. On Earth, the German leadership is purged and a new, more calculating regime takes hold, while the American government grapples with the fallout of a secret attack on the Race's fleet. As both sides rebuild and reckon with the cost of the war, the true extent of the damage — and the secrets behind it — begins to surface.
