Synopsis
In 1939, as the German army ravages his country, Captain Alexander de Milja enlists in the newly formed Polish underground and undertakes the first of many daring acts of defiance and disruption: transporting Poland's gold reserves to safety hidden on board a refugee train. As the war continues, duty takes him from Warsaw to Paris and the frozen Ukraine - enduring a life of dark shadows and perpetual deception, always on the run, always just one step ahead of death.
