Set against the backdrop of 1950s Chicago, 'Atomic Love' thrusts Rosalind Porter, a former physicist for the Manhattan Project, into a tangled web of espionage and old flames. With her love life and the covert world colliding, Rosalind grapples with her history of romance with colleague Thomas Weaver and the harrowing guilt over her role in developing the atomic bomb. Her life takes a sharp turn when both Weaver and the FBI walk back into her life. Special Agent Charlie Szydlo, still scarred by his own past, recruits Rosalind to spy on Weaver, who is suspected of leaking nuclear secrets to Russia. As Rosalind becomes intimately entangled with both men, she faces an agonizing dilemma: reconcile with the man who ignited her heart or side with the man whose love might rescue her and possibly the nation.
