In a city divided by rubble and ideology, loyalty becomes a perilous calculation.
Berlin, 1948. Blockaded, battered, and carved into rival spheres, the city is a crucible where spies, writers, and soldiers of lost causes fight for influence. Returning from American exile, Alex Meier agrees to work with the CIA to escape McCarthy persecution and reclaim the life he left behind. But his first assignment shatters any illusion of control. A failed kidnapping leaves him hunted, alliances shift without warning, and the woman he once loved becomes the center of a mission built on deception.
As borders harden and danger closes in, Alex must decide what survival demands and what betrayal truly costs.
Leaving Berlin is a tense, atmospheric thriller of love, innocence lost, and the shadowed moral terrain of the early Cold War.
