Dr Martin Collins is called away at the beginning of WW2 to be a medical officer, serving in a military hospital. Whilst posted in France, the hospital is captured and Dr Collins has to choose either to stay with his patients or flee for his own survival. His decision brings him to a P.O.W. camp, then on to Auschwitz, where he comes face to face with the angel of death: Dr Josef Mengele. Dr Collins' time there leaves a mark on him and his involvement with Mengele asks the question: how much was Mengele's involvement and how much his own?
The answer may lead to the noose.
