Summary
Barbara 'Babs' Hug is a young radical lawyer fighting Switzerland's antiquated prison system in the 1980s, and finds it to be an endless, draining battle. One day, she's approached by the country's most wanted criminal, Walter Sturm, in a public square. But Walter isn't your average criminal, as he's recently escaped from prison for the seventh time. Babs quickly sees an opportunity to use his popularity to reform the penal system, and they form an unlikely alliance. That plan, however, goes awry when the unpredictable Sturm uses his newfound freedom to commit another crime, and soon find the authorities closing in. Using her connections, she finds the charming criminal temporary refuge with a militant organization, and takes him on as a client. Sturm, however, has a very different ideology of freedom, and proves to be far more difficult to manage than she ever realized
