du jour au lendemain, la part la plus sombre de la France : le gouvernement de Vichy, avec en tête le maréchal Pétain et le président Laval, leurs ministres, une troupe de miliciens et deux mille civils français qui ont suivi le mouvement, parmi lesquels un certain Céline. Pour les accueillir Hitler a mis à leur disposition le château des princes de Hohenzollern, maîtres des lieux depuis des siècles. Tout repose désormais sur Julius Stein, le majordome général de l'illustre lignée. Depuis les coulisses où il œuvre sans un bruit, sans un geste déplacé, il écoute, voit, sait tout. Tandis que les Alliés se rapprochent inexorablement du Danube et que l'étau se resserre, Sigmaringen s'organise en petite France. Coups d'éclat, trahisons, rumeurs d'espionnage, jalousies, l'exil n'a pas éteint les passions.
