The secret romance of a Swedish diplomat working in North Korea, Isak Borg, and his traffic officer girlfriend, Bok-Joo. Their stolen moments set the stage for this compelling, gentle romance - capturing the isolation and loneliness of two people searching for tenderness. But all is not as it appears; this romance is wrapped in tension, betrayal, and international espionage. An engaging thriller that sings with thoughtful, emotional connection.
