Security guard and family man Christoph Meili becomes an international media sensation overnight when he exposes dormant assets in Swiss bank accounts. After rescuing historically explosive documents from being shredded and handing them over to Jewish organizations, his actions trigger a political storm. The Meili affair turns into a major crisis for the Swiss government’s Task Force on World War II, led by Special Ambassador Thomas Borer, which had been tasked with restoring Switzerland’s damaged reputation in the United States.
