June, 1942: As the German blitzkrieg stalls in Russia, Hitler’s behavior becomes increasingly eccentric. The German High Command (OKW) suspects he is insane and approaches Carl Jung to request an evaluation of The Fuehrer’s mental state. The OKW doesn’t realize that Jung’s close associate, Mary, works for the American OSS. The OSS asks Jung to enter Nazi-occupied Austria, into the Mouth of the Lion, and extract Hitler’s darkest secrets.
