A divided city. Intertwined lives.
Before the Second World War, Thomas Haas’s journalism brings him into conflict with SS officer Von Fügershof. Gerda Neumann, a Jewish widow, faces danger within her own family.
Love and shifting loyalties complicate their attempts to survive. Decades later, an investigation into a betrayed British commando mission brings the past into the present. Haas, now holding a senior position in East Germany while secretly working for Britain, prepares to leave for the West. Von Fügershof has built a new life of influence — and has every reason to prevent his escape.
