In the tumultuous early years of the young Jewish state, two German Jewish brothers, Arie and Peter, navigate a harrowing journey that intertwines their lives and the fate of the nation. Arie, the younger brother, narrowly escapes the Holocaust in Europe, while Peter, one year older, is sent to America before the war breaks out. When they reunite in Israel, they discover that their entire family has been brutally murdered. Despite their vastly different paths, Peter becomes a top Mossad agent, deeply involved in many of the era's most daring spy adventures. Arie, on the other hand, becomes a scheming businessman, one of the richest men in Israel.

As they strive to build and protect the fledgling state, their jealousies and intrigues mirror the struggles of the young nation itself. They both fall in love with the same woman, a Jewish refugee from Egypt, adding another layer of complexity to their already complicated relationship. The brothers' journey is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Jewish people in the face of adversity, and their story continues to inspire generations to come.
