When a machine test misfires, Wilhelm is transported to modern-day Berlin. He sees and learns things he can barely comprehend. The only thing that doesn't make him recoil is the woman who comes to his aid and is determined to help him get home. Emily Feit can hardly believe her eyes when a WW2 SS Captain lands at her feet. Knowing he's injured and desperate, she can't walk away. With no other choice, Emily lets him stay with her. Neither of them expected to develop feelings for the other, so how can things possibly work out when they fall in love? Complicating matters is her friend, Daniel Roth, who secretly loves her. But there's more to Daniel's instant hatred of Wilhelm than jealousy over a woman. Daniel knows something isn't right with her new friend. And he intends to get to the bottom of it with the help of his elderly great-grandfather - an ex-Nazi hunter who has his own ax to grind.
