On 10 August 1944, with Germany on the verge of a crushing and humiliating defeat, Heinrich Himmler, the second most powerful Nazi and head of the notorious SS, holds a clandestine meeting in Strasbourg, with a handful of elite industrialists and bankers. A covert organisation is born, codenamed ''Die Spinne'' - The Spider . The network is tasked with helping senior SS officers to escape the clutches of advancing allied forces. New identities are created, bankrolled by illicit funds, allowing these notorious criminals to begin new lives in Europe and South America. Many of them land key roles in the worlds of politics, banking, and industry. Decades later they''re able to pass on a privileged and influential birth right to their descendants. In November 2024, a few weeks before the annual UN COP Climate Conference due to be held in Argentina, a stolen USB stick containing the coded names of prominent politicians - neo-Nazis who are members of the Spider Network - falls into the hands of Chief Inspector Nicolas Vargas of the Buenos Aires Police Department and Troy Hembury, the Head of Internal Security at the White House. The pair join forces to try and expose a dark political conspiracy, which threatens to rock the very fabric of world stability. Employing a level of AI technology years ahead of anything currently known, the Spider network controls a secret facility based in Strasbourg capable of creating undetectable deep fakes of their own extremist politicians, able to conduct live interviews on a video stream with any news outlet in the world. At a time of world disorder, with bitter wars raging across Europe and the Middle East, the leaders of ''The Spider'' look to seize their opportunity of grabbing control of the levers of political power.
