Overview

New York Harbor, 1933. A passenger liner approaches Lower Manhattan and America awaits it with excitement. Renowned physicist Albert Einstein, whose genius and fame are nearly matched by his stubbornness, has fled the Nazi regime to take refuge in the United States. With the past attempts on his life now an ocean away, Einstein will teach America's best and brightest at Princeton while continuing to voice his passionate resistance against Hitler. FBI Agents James Amos and Harry Weiss are pulled off a mob case to pursue a bizarre lead that Hitler-who is convinced Einstein holds the key to developing an atomic superweapon-is sending a Nazi operative to abduct the scientist. They are soon plunged into an upside-down America that has festered out of sight across the country. In this surreal world of shadows, Nazi rallies fill out the iconic Madison Square Garden, Upper East Side neighborhoods become pro-Hitler enclaves, and quaint Long Island villages are transformed into mini fascist utopias. Appearances are not only deceiving, but deadly. Based on actual events, The Einstein Conspiracy is a gripping historical thriller, rich with haunting reminders of a moment in American history when the line between foreign enemy and domestic threat was perilously thin.
