East Berlin, 1986.

Lina Prochnow has dreams. To be the best ice skater she can be. To qualify for the Olympics. To win the Gold Medal and escape the Soviet occupied zone of the German Democratic Republic.

Ernst Jung has no such fantasies. A career Stasi officer for fifteen years, every arrest and interrogation is just another tick on a list of responsibilities he has been forced to memorize. His role is simple; to root out every opposition and keep citizens of the GDR safe, whether they want it or not.

Lina’s dreams and Ernst’s responsibilities collide when they are brought together by the actions of a group called the Brotherhood. To Lina, the organization members are liberators she desperately wants to join. For Ernst, they are a terrorist organization threatening the very foundation of the GDR and need to be routed out.

When Georg Bauer, Lina’s boyfriend, is discovered as the ringleader and executed on Ernst’s orders, Lina vows to avenge his death, even if it means risking her own. Her plan is a risky one, to infiltrate the Stasi by becoming the secretary to the man who ordered his death. Lina believes she has the upper hand, but that would be foolish. Ernst is known for getting his way, and he views Lina’s appointment as his opportunity to infiltrate the Brotherhood, which he believes Lina is part of.

Despite their polarizing ideas, Lina and Ernst have the same goals; to infiltrate the others’ group and come out on top. Told against the backdrop of the crumbling Iron Curtain, Infiltration blends historical fact and fiction in this dangerous game of cat and mouse between a GDR citizen desperate to survive and the Stasi officer who represents one of the most terrifying police organizations.

Let the games begin.
