Plot Summary
In 1938 Hitler annexed Sudetenland, and in order to prevent him to further escalate and start another World War, American scientists are working on a new super bomb based on the Formica atom and the formula F = mc2, in the top secret project "Top-Secret", in "Vastly Clandestine Program". But the Formica isotope takes 80 years to gain full strength. A secret agent is sent to the year 2018 to bring back the matured isotope in time to test the new bomb to stop Hitler. After all, the scientists discovered that time and matter are interchangeable. Our agent has just 24 hours to get used to the new technology as envisioned back in 1938, to get the matured isotope.
