1937. The Duke of Windsor marries the glamorous and devious American divorcee Wallis Simpson. They tour Germany fêted by the Nazi regime and flattered by Hess, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler and the Führer himself. Powerful forces vie to exploit the world´s most famous couple. Are they merely self-indulgent and naive or active participants in a terrifying conspiracy?
