In Atlantis, we follow the tumultuous life of Frederick von Kammacher, a young doctor in Germany grappling with the madness of his wife, the absence of his children in boarding school, and the aftermath of his careers collapse due to flawed research. In a moment of impulsiveness, he becomes enamored with a teenage dancer and decides to board the same steamship bound for New York. The narrative takes a gripping turn as Hauptmann, once seen as a prophetic figure, eerily foretells the fate of their ship, echoing the tragic events of the Titanic that would unfold just months later.
