Germany, 1944.
The Fuhrer has just survived another assassination attempt. But Germany is losing the war.
Stauffenberg's attempted assassination and coup originated from inside the government and military. Is the Nazi Party about to turn on itself?
Order must be restored and the High Command is calling for blood.
Max Hoffmann is enlisted, under Hitler's instruction, to carry out an investigation. The disillusioned detective has a problem though; he knows that as soon as the investigation starts, his own treason against the Party might be uncovered.
As it becomes clear that Hoffman has not been a "good Nazi" he decides to go on the run, mere hours ahead of the SS Agents who are sent to arrest him.
As a fugitive, Hoffman only has one objective: to fight one last battle against the people that turned against him, his friends and his family - and against one man in particular.
'Into Darkness' is a superb historical thriller, which sheds light not only upon the end days of the Third Reich but also upon one man, trying to serve his country and conscience.
