In the 1980's, an investigative journalist makes the find of a lifetime - the previously lost diaries of Adolf Hitler. Not only would this be a snapshot into history, some of the information inside would cast doubt onto what we previously knew about one of the most notorious villains of all time. Once the diaries are published, questions begin to arise. Are they even real? If not, where did they come from? And who would be daring enough to try to rewrite history?
