1942. On an abandoned squash court, a dazzling scientific experiment takes place that three years later will destroy a city and change the world forever. The events surrounding the catastrophic "mistake" that launched our nuclear age. Through the lives of a brilliant Hungarian scientist, a daring American pilot and a devoted Japanese daughter. Partly using verbatim testimonies, this powerful drama confronts the dangers that arise when humans dare to unlock the awesome power of nature.
