After migrating to the U.S. in the late 1930s, Polish-Jewish mathematician Stanislaw ‘Stan’ Ulam (Philippe Tlokinski) is offered an opportunity to work on a top-secret project in New Mexico. Ulam and his new wife (Esther Garrel) move to the newly-built town of Los Alamos, where Ulam becomes part of a team of brilliant young immigrant scientists whose work leads to the creation of the hydrogen bomb. But despite his success, Ulam finds himself wracked with guilt over the family he left behind in Poland.
