"This fast-paced action thriller is a multi-layered story that spans eight centuries, from medieval Germany and Prussia to present day Poland and USA. It is centred on the legend of the amber Knight - a beloved relic that inspired generations until the Nazis stole it.
Present day Gdansk. Adam Salen, director of a museum trust, receives photographs of the Amber Knight wich disappeared in 1945, and a demand for 50 million dollars. His assistant, Magda, believes that, given a corpse, amber and armour the knight could be recreated. Adam and Magda want the knight for the museum, but when a mafia hit man is found dead on Adam's doorstep and more corpses are discovered in woods near Hitler's Wolfs lair, it seems there may be truth behind the myth that death awaits every unbeliever who looks upon the knight's face. |
