Description:

SUMMARY: Noel Holcroft, a young American architect, flies to Geneva where he sees an astonishing document. Drawn up more than 30 years ago by three ostensibly repentant Nazis, it is the key to a $780 million fund sequestered by the trio to aid survivors of the Holocaust. All that is required is Holcraft's signature. But the document is a lie and the fund's real purpose is to establish a new Nazi Reich. If Holcraft signs the document, he will be validating his own death warrant...but paradoxically, only by signing it can he prevent the plot he has uncovered from reaching its predestined conclusion.
