Bogarts Bruder
Hollywood, 1938, on the eve of the Second World War. Hank Jordan returns from Europe and tries to continue the small publishing house run by his brother Carl, who apparently took his own life. As he investigates the death, encounters with Jewish refugees, Nazi agents, and an unknown Humphrey Bogart draw him into a dark case where crime and politics converge.
