The Cold War is still going on when Emmy treks across the Soviet Union on the Trans Siberian Railroad in 1987, landing her in Moscow . There, she meets the legendary Russian music icon Stas Namin and his rock band the Stas Namin Group. Together they travel to East Berlin where Emmy and her new friends are forced to face the horrors and reality of the Berlin Wall and the political borders that define their fates and separate her from her friends. It is a story of fate and coincidences, friendships despite borders, heart ache, and the harsh realities of post-war Germany.

"What a powerful experience you describe! I think many of us have walked through metaphorical "checkpoint Charlies" but to hear your build up to, and literally crossing through the Berlin Wall puts the courage we all may take for granted ("I only did what needed to be done...") in its right place, at the center of the story."
