A convicted terrorist with links to the Baader-Meinhof gang has been released on pardon after 24 years. In order to ease him back into society, his sister arranges a weekend get-together in a secluded country home, inviting a variety of people who had, in some way, been part of his previous life. Inevitably, conflicts and tensions surface as the weekend proceeds, and the author explores these believably and with great skill.
