From Yoko to John: until the past returns to hunt her.
Yoko, a wanted murderer on the run, lives under a new identity as John on a small Greek island. Working in a restaurant high above the sea, she has found friends and peace. Yoko is her past, John is her future. In addition to working at the taverna, John takes care of Ingrid's estate, a wealthy woman who only spends summers on the island. He tends the garden and enjoys the tranquility and favor of his employer. But while John feels safe, Yoko is still being hunted in Germany. A television program revisits the "Yoko Case", uncovering new evidence and reopening her file. As John’s past is exposed, the hunt begins.
