Sent by wealthy American Jews, Benjamin travels to neutral Switzerland during WWII to find evidence of the holocaust. On his journey, he meets Raif and Rachael of Britain's intelligence service who recruit him to find out how the Germans get gold out of Nazi occupied countries and converted to Swiss Francs; currency desperately needed by the Nazis to secretly buy essential war supplies. Once in Basel, Switzerland, Benjamin meets other Jews who help him in his cause. Nazi sympathizers steal his passport, money, and threaten his life. He runs with a group of Jewish escapees who trek across the Alps to freedom. High adventure at 10,000 feet, blizzards, death, and redemption follow his footsteps through the snow. Romance and love cloud his mission but clarify his life.
