Together with their adopted daughter Julia, a gifted young mathematician whose traumatic past has been healed by their unconditional love, they form an unbreakable scientific trio. Their groundbreaking research on permafrost acceleration and ocean circulation collapse threatens powerful corporate interests, forcing the family into hiding while they complete their life-saving work.As large international conglolmerates deploy assassins and infiltrate their team with deadly spies, the Koch-Brumiere family must survive months in safe houses across Germany.
