Outline

In 1962 Nazi-occupied New York, Joe Blake volunteers to serve the resistance by driving a truck to the Neutral Zone in the Rockies. In Japan-occupied San Francisco, Juliana Crain receives a package from her sister, Trudy, only to later see her shot by the Japanese police. Juliana discovers the package contains impossible footage of the Allies winning World War II. Her boyfriend, Frank, urges her to go to the police to plead her innocence. However, Juliana lies to him and instead heads to the Neutral Zone to deliver the film in Trudy’s place. A woman attempts to steal the film but escapes only with decoys. The Japanese trade minister, Nobusuke Tagomi, meets the Nazi ambassador Hugo Reiss to finalise the details of a visit to San Francisco by the Japanese Crown Prince. Later Tagomi meets Rudolph Wegener, a high-ranking Nazi official pretending to be a Swedish businessman. Joe and Juliana meet and become friends in Canon City in the Neutral Zone. In San Francisco, the Kempeitai begin searching for Juliana because of her connection to Trudy. Blake calls SS Obergruppenführer Smith, revealing that Blake is secretly working for the Nazis.
