Some secrets are worth dying over. From the sadistic human testing conducted by the Nazis during World War II, a terrible virus with the potential to ravage the human body is discovered. Recognizing its promising lethality, a band of German scientists are sent on a clandestine mission-Operation Scorpion's Nest- into the American Southwest to unleash it upon the unsuspecting population of the United States. One near-miss and 70 years later, Scott Kretschmer, an unemployed aircraft mechanic, witnesses a violent bank robbery. Uninterested in money, the thieves only took one thing: the last remaining logbook from the Nazi operation. Scott suddenly finds himself plunged into a race against time as a corrupt pharmaceutical company with a Nazi past works to replicate the virus, with plans to release it upon the world as the only provider of the antidote.
