They've never seen eye to eye, but their struggles have bonded them for life.
Growing up, Joachim "Jochen" Schrader was the tough one. His brother Gunter was the baby of the family; mama's favorite, the good boy.
The First World War changed everything.
By 1927, Gunter's future holds promise once again. He is happily married to Frigga, his neighbor and childhood companion, and has taken an auspicious position with the Berlin Police Department. Though it seems their beloved Germany has also risen from the ashes, Gunter and Frigga see nothing but debauchery and political chaos all around.
It is Jochen who tempts Gunter back into the very politics he'd forsworn, challenging Frigga's dreams of a happy marriage and a home full of children. Her husband is a man of duty, and once again, his loyalty to his marriage is challenged by his loyalty to his nation.
What will become of Jochen as the political tide shifts, and he becomes a political outcast? Is it the state that is hunting him, or is someone out to settle a score?
