In 1950, a convoy of buses arrives in the sleepy town of Huntsville, Alabama with 118 German families on board. Most of them speak no English at all. These Germans, once part of the Nazi regime's technological elite, are to build rockets for the U.S. Army under CIA supervision. They are outsiders who have to get used to a foreign culture. They are given the opportunity by the US to forget their past in exchange for their invaluable knowledge. (Zeitsprung)
