Logan Lerman is a Nazi hunting protégé in Amazon Prime's Hunters.

Logan is starring in Hunters as Jonah Heidelbaum. His grandmother, who we discover in the trailer was in a concentration camp, is killed by a home intruder.

When he meets Meyer Offerman, who is played by Al Pacino, he finds himself wrapped up in the world of a mysterious organization called The Hunt, a group of justice-seekers who work together to find Nazi murderers living in the U.S. under assumed identities. He learns that his grandmother was even one of the founding members of The Hunt. Meyer takes Jonah under his wing to teach him that revenge "is the best revenge".

What exactly is the show about?

The show centers on Meyer and Jonah, but there's many more members of The Hunt. Each member plays a significant role on the team by using their specific skills to find and eliminate Nazi threats in the United States.

The Nazi hunters are living in New York City in 1977 and some of the members, like Meyer, spent time in concentration camps themselves. The group discovers that there are hundreds of high ranking Nazi officials undercover in the U.S. and are working together to create a Fourth Reich in America. Which leaves The Hunt as America's best defense to prevent it from happening. By the way, this was actually all based on a true story.
