One spring afternoon, a young neo-Nazi named Vincent Nolan walks into the Manhattan office of the World Brotherhood Watch, a human rights foundation headed by a charismatic Holocaust survivor, Meyer Maslow. Vincent announces that he wants to make a radical change in his life. But what is Maslow to make of this rough-looking stranger who claims to have read Maslow's books, whilst at the same time sporting Waffen SS tattoos under his shirtsleeves and who says that his mission is to save guys like him from becoming guys like him? As he gradually turns into the sort of person who might actually be able to achieve his objective, Vincent also transforms those around him.
