1942, around mid-year, in a subjugated region of Romania, a huge armored train of the Ahnenerbe, the organization of the Third Reich dealing with all things paranormal in the hope of finding what it will take to win the war for the Führer, is infiltrated by the most discreet man in the world. This one, codenamed "the Invisible Man", frees the seven prisoners on board and derails the train. After that, he informs them that he was hired by an anonymous informant and that they should deal with the members of the Ahnenerbe who wanted to keep them prisoner to try to enslave them or attempt to duplicate their exceptional abilities. Although they have each been used to living alone for a while, they agree to do what is necessary to obtain justice against the Nazis who truly believed they could subjugate them. However, what was supposed to be the destruction of a single secret base deep in Romania will quickly turn into a larger mission. World War II leaves no one unmoved, not even the "monsters"... and with them in the balance, things may soon change !
