1975: When Oberleutnant Karin Muller is called to investigate a teenage girlβs body at the foot of the Berlin Wall, she imagines sheβs seen it all before. But she soon realizes that this is a death like no other before it - the girl was evidently trying to escape from West Berlin.

The Ministry for State Security, the Stasi, assures her the case is closed; all they need to know is the girlβs name. Yet they strongly discourage Karin from asking questions.
