What do a commander, a noblewoman, a doctor, and a soldier have in common? Very little, if anything at all...or so they think.
The truth is that Erwin Smith, Sisi Erhardt, Beatrice Engel, and Theo Schoeber are unsatisfied with their circumstances. They aspire above their lots. They dare to dream in a world that is merciless to the ambitious. They are beginning to question whether life is truly worth fighting for.
Then their paths cross. Over the course of one fateful summer, they change each other's lives for better and for worse. They will uncover secrets about each other...and themselves. They will teach one another what it means to live.
They will learn what it means to die.
