Luisa joins a secret spy network, risking her life to help East Germans escape across Berlin Wall and into the West. Bob Inama, a soldier in the US Army, is stationed in West Germany. He's glad to be fluent in German, especially after meeting Luisa Voigt at a church social. As they spend tie together, they forma close connection. But when Bob receives classified orders to leave for undercover work immediately, he doesn't get the chance to say goodbye.
