He finds true love at the university with a good girl from a different tribe. Their true love stands firm against all stiff oppositions. However, their true love is short-lived as the newlyweds find themselves in the den of a notorious kidnapping gang, known as the Czar Boys, led by Hitler.

The craftily-plotted story reaches a twisty conclusion that leaves the reader, wondering whom to ever trust again.
