Union launched Sputnik, PFC Elvis Presley arrived in Germany, the U-2 with pilot Francis
Gary Powers was downed, and The Big Bopper, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly died in an Iowa
plane crash. Against this background, Mark falls in love with a beautiful
Bremerhaven fraulein, Gabbi, and risks loosing his security clearance in a struggle to
balance his heart with his sense of duty and responsibility.
