No fundo do gelo da Antártica, uma equipe de geólogos descobre um antigo laboratório nazista ainda intacto, onde experimentos escuros ocorreram. Para conquistar o mundo, os nazistas criaram tubarões modificados que eram capazes de voar e cujos pilotos são super-humanos mortos-vivos geneticamente mutados. Uma força-tarefa militar chamada "Dead Flesh Four" - soldados americanos reanimados que caíram no Vietnã - é montada para evitar a queda mundial.
Persona Non Grata in his homeland, protest singer Klaus Drittemann must leave East Berlin, his wife and child and emigrate to West Berlin, where the representatives of an American record company are eagerly waiting for him. They plan to exploit his defection from communism both ideologically and financially. But Klaus, as ill-at-ease in the West as he was in the East, is reluctant to be used as an expendable commodity. Leaving his contract unsigned (or signed in his manner), he leaves for Cambridge to meet his father, a concert player, who -just like him - left East Berlin thirty years ago as Klaus was a little boy. He is accompanied by a young French journalist, Emma, who knows where his father has been living since he disappeared for more than a decade. The young lady is cooperative but might hide things from him...
