At the age of 15, Heinz Kisinger fled from Nazism to the United States, where he became Henry Kissinger. He was drafted into the army and sent to study engineering at a civilian college.

But his fate takes a sharp turn when he meets another immigrant from Germany, Fritz Kremer, who becomes his patron and mentor for many years. In one of these clubs, Kissinger met Richard Nixon, who paved the foreign policy of the U.S. from 1969 to 1974.
