During Heidi’s university years, she is confronted by a stranger who gives her an envelope addressed to her uncle. She confronts him, and he reluctantly reveals disturbing facts. The prospect of romance and a theatrical career temporarily overshadow his words. Murder, truths about her German family, and the loss of her adopted parents reveal a treasure trove of secrets.
