In New York City, 1989, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, world-renowned prima ballerina Andrea Brandt is accused of murder. She admits to her attorney that the “devil got what he deserved”, but she says she has no recollection of what happened. As her attorney presses her for more information, Andrea begins to tell her story, taking him back in time to WWII, five years before her birth, in what would eventually become Soviet East Berlin.
The reader goes back in time to 1943 Berlin, when Andrea’s parents first meet in a club in which her mother, Ingrid, works as a dancer. As their relationship grows, so too do the hardships as they struggle to survive the allied air-raids, followed by the invasion of Soviet Forces, and the subsequent occupation.
Andrea is born in 1948 and knows nothing but her parents’ love. However, when she is only four years old, she witnesses a terrible tragedy, which dramatically changes the course of her life. She becomes withdrawn, refusing to talk, haunted by the recurring nightmares of her past, until she finally realizes that she cannot change anything.
As she grows up, Andrea becomes increasingly rebellious, but learns the hard way that some level of conformity is necessary to achieve her dreams. However, after having achieved success behind the Iron Curtain, she sets out to break away from the East, only to have her past catch up to her years later.
