A man foils an attempted murder, then flees the crew of would-be killers along with their intended target as a woman he's just met tries to find him.

August 13, 1961: The passengers on the interzonal train from Munich to East Berlin learn 3½ hours before crossing the border that the Wall is being built in Berlin. They have 3½ hours to make a life-changing decision: to get off the train or keep going.

Two friends want to stay awake as long as possible - without drugs. C. and Nike are 17, but pretend to be 20. They want to get out. Get out of the confines of the suburbs. They want to feel themselves.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a former East German spy resolves to find out who betrayed her and why — and use her lethal skills to exact revenge.
