Description
In 1978 East Germany, nothing is as it seems. The state's power is absolute, history is re-written, and the "truth" is whatever the Stasi say it is. So when the murder of a woman is officially labeled an "accidental death," Major Karin Müller of the People's Police is faced with a dilemma. To solve the crime, she must defy the official version of events. But defying the Stasi means putting her own life--and the lives of her young family--in danger. As the worst winter in history holds Germany in its freeze, Müller must untangle a web of state secrets and make a choice: between the truth and a lie, justice and injustice, and, ultimately, life and death.
