A golden summer, and six talented teenagers are looking forward to the brightest of futures—until a daredevil game goes horribly wrong, leaving three strangers dead. 18-year-old Megan takes the blame for the crime, leaving her friends to get on with their lives. In return, they each agree to a 'favour', payable on her release from prison. Twenty years later Megan is free. It is payback time. And her friends start disappearing, one by one . . .

When three little girls—Anna, Bernie, and Elica—make a pact to be blood sisters for life, they believe nothing can come between them. Anna is from an affluent Jewish family, while Bernie and Elica are from poor Austrian families who barely make ends meet. As they get older, their social differences become all too real. With infectious Jew-hate-laden rhetoric from Nazi Germany spreading into Austria, it is only a matter of time before their bond of friendship gets severely tested.

Wien 1976. Die junge Dozentin Katharina Adler sorgt bei den männlichen Kollegen regelmäßig für Schnappatmung. Selbstbewusst trägt sie knalligen Lippenstift und verbotenerweise im Hörsaal Hosen. Außerdem hat sie sich kein geringeres Ziel gesetzt, als die Geschichtswissenschaft zu revolutionieren. Dafür widmet sie sich Büchern, die von Frauen geschrieben wurden, speziell Kochbüchern. Als ihr dabei eine Rezeptsammlung aus der Feder ihrer Mutter Jule unterkommt, erkennt Katharina, dass sie erst die Geheimnisse ihrer eigenen Familie aufdecken muss, bevor sie die Welt verändern kann.
