The story revolves around a group of young airmen who, driven to madness by their harsh conditions in an Arctic prison and constant harassment by a sadistic enemy, decide to steal a nuclear bomb. Their goal is to end the war and, potentially, the world.
The novel is set against the backdrop of Cold War tensions and explores themes of military paranoia and the extreme measures taken by those pushed to their limits. It has been noted for its near-future speculative fiction elements and has drawn comparisons to the dark satire of "Dr. Strangelove"
