In the 1960s, three Mossad agents—Rachel, Stephan, and David—embark on a mission to capture a notorious Nazi war criminal, Dieter Vogel, known as the "Surgeon of Birkenau." They successfully nab him in East Berlin, where they hold him captive while they plan his extraction to Israel so he can face trial. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including Vogel's cunning nature and the tense environment of Cold War Berlin, they guard their prisoner diligently, bound by their sense of duty and moral obligation.

Decades later, the agents, now aged and leading separate lives, are haunted by the repercussions of their mission. As the story shifts between the past and present, long-buried secrets and personal conflicts resurface, compelling the former agents to confront the truth about what really happened in Berlin. The narrative explores their lingering feelings of guilt, regret, and unresolved issues, leading to an intense and dramatic resolution that impacts their lives profoundly.
