In Berlin's artistic underground, where techno and drugs fill warehouse still pockmarked from the wars of the twentieth century, nineteen-year-old Nila finds her tribe. Born in Germany to Afghan parents, raised in public housing graffitied with swastikas, drawn to philosophy, photography and sex, Nila has spent her adolescence disappointing her family while searching for her voice. Then, in the haze of the city's legendary nightlife, Nila meets Marlowe, an American writer whose fading literary celebrity opens her eyes to a life of personal and artistic freedom. But as Nila finds herself pulled further into Marlowe's controlling orbit, ugly, barely submerged racial tensions begin to roil Germany - and Nila's family and community. After a year of running from her future, Nila stops to ask herself the most important question: Who does she want to be?
