1. Stealing The Future

1993. After forty years of communist rule it's time for change: participatory democracy, citizen's movements and de-centralization are part of a new political landscape in East Berlin. But when a politician's crushed body is found a constitutional crisis erupts. Ex-dissident Martin Grobe turns detective and his investigations point towards the Stasi, the KGB and the West Germans-has he uncovered a putsch against the new GDR, or is it just a conspiracy to murder?

With the start of the East German revolution in 1989 Martin Grobe switched from opposing the state to working for the state. Four years later, the GDR is in turmoil: in a city ravaged by politics and economic meltdown it's up to Martin to make the dreamers of 1989 face up to hard reality.

But when an ex-Stasi agent goes undercover on a mission against the fascists, events begin to spiral out of Martin's control.
