Heinrich is the mastermind behind a small army of spy gigolos who prey on lonely women working in the West German governments most secret divisions. Caught in the middle is ladies man STEFAN MALIK, a reluctant Romeo, forced to do the generals bidding or rot in a Stasi prison. Just as she thinks shes gaining the upper hand, Sabines worst fears are realized. The Stasi has infiltrated the highest ranks of West German intelligence and Heinrichs well-placed mole is watching her every move. With the number of women spying for love growing by the day, Sabine risks everything on a cutting-edge technology that promises to identify traitors. The ingenious system soon picks up the scent of Stefan, who is targeting the Chief of the Chancellerys secretary. But when Sabine discovers that Stefan has an agenda of his own, she lays a risky trap. With the security of the West at risk and Stefans life hanging by a thread, she gives her all to unmask the mole and outwit the Stasi spymaster.
