He has no father, no friends, not even a favourite food. Basically, his sole wish is to vanish from the face of the earth. One day, Mike decides to put an end to the cynical joke that fate has played on him, or life as it is called in other words. He places his own obituary and shoots himself! The story of Mike Tyson.

And suddenly Mike‘s fate takes a very different turn when, during a routine examination, the doctors discover a plum-sized tumour in his head. Mike can scarcely believe his luck and keeps his condition a secret from the adults in his life so as to avoid undergoing the operation that would save him. Staring death directly in the eyes, however, changes Mike‘s view of life. For example, it causes him to re-evaluate his opinion of the crazy and enchanting Miranda, the first human being who appears to understand him. And slowly but surely, Mike develops a completely new wish.

The lieutenant colonel, responsible for the mass deportation of the Jews, is allegedly hiding in Buenos Aires. Bauer, himself Jewish, tries to take crimes from the Third Reich to court, ever since he returned from Danish exile. So far, without success, due of the fierce German determination to repress its sinister past. Because of his distrust in the German justice system, Fritz Bauer contacts the Israeli secret service Mossad, and by doing so, commits treason. Bauer is not bend on revenge for the holocaust - he is concerned with the German future. Sometimes the only way to save your country is to betray it.
