1948. The differing interests of the Allied powers are becoming increasingly apparent. Germany is on the brink of a crisis. The Soviet Union isolates West Berlin. A few months after the currency reform, banker Dr. Victor Wrede is found dead. Next to him lie his deceased wife and his unconscious son Carl. Years later, Carl Wrede searches for the reasons behind his parents' deaths. In the process, he uncovers a fraud during the currency reform that had remained undiscovered until now. And should remain undiscovered.
