Faced with this danger, her father immediately took all the blame for his daughter's behavior. He gave false evidence to take her out of the firing line. Though Major Winkler knew that her father was lying and only wanted to protect his daughter, he sent him to prison for confessing his "subversive anti-state behavior". The girl's family got destroyed.

Two years later, after the collapse of communism, the girl and the major encounter each other again and in a different world - America.

Both of them feel alien and alone in this new world. Now however the girl suddenly sees a purpose to the life she's leading here: She wants her revenge. And all she has to do is: Seduce the former major and take him to the cleaners.
