An ambitious young historian must dig deep into his family's past when his elderly father is brutally murdered...

Unhappy with the official explanation of a break-in gone wrong, he launches his own investigation, but soon finds he didn't know his father nearly as well has he thought and is shocked to discover that he is the son of a Holocaust survivor from one of the worst camps.

Not only that, but after the war his father joined a vigilante group, known as the Din, intent on hunting down Nazi war criminals and killing them.

As he gradually uncovers the full story of these shadowy activities, he realizes that someone is after him - it seems he is getting too close to one truth or another. But who is pursuing him? Is it the Din themselves, or those who carry on their campaign? Or could it be anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers or modern Nazis?
