Germany, 1944. Ernst Beck's new job marks an end to months of unemployment. Working for Erfurts most prestigious engineering firm, Topf & Sons, means he can finally make a contribution to the war effort, provide for his beautiful wife, Etta, and make his parents proud. But there is a price. Ernst is assigned to the firms smallest team - the Special Ovens Department. Reporting directly to Berlin his role is to annotate plans for new crematoria designed to burn day and night. Their destination: the concentration camps. Topf's new client: the SS. As the true nature of his work dawns on him, Ernst has a terrible choice to make: turning a blind eye will keep him and Etta safe, but that's little comfort if staying silent amounts to collusion in the death of thousands.
