Christoph Kunzel was at the peak of his chosen career, selected for the high honor of delivering an important lecture at the annual conference of urban planners in Milwaukee. On the morning of his speech, while sitting alone in a coffee shop reviewing his notes and reflecting on his life, he was distracted by the sight of a young woman, also sitting alone. He didn't know it, but his world was about to be turned upside down. Over the course of the next thirty-six hours, he would be drawn into an adventure he could never have imagined, forever changing his life and the lives of those closest to him.
