The year is 1985. East Germany is in the grip of communism. Magda, a brilliant but disillusioned young linguist, is desperate to flee. When a black market deal brings her into connect with Robert, a Scottish research student at Leipzig University, she sees a way to deflect attention from her increasingly wide escape plans. Robert falls in love with her and stumbles into a complex world of shifting half-truths - one that will undo them both. More than a decade later, Robert returns to post-communist Leipzig in search of answers. Can he track Magda down? And will the past give up its secrets?
