Paul Behant is perplexed when he finds a gun in his mother’s belongings. After all, she’s a sweet, elderly woman who lives in a nursing home. So what’s she doing with a Walther PPK, a German gun, that dates back from WWII?...
Paul Behant is perplexed when he finds a gun in his mother’s belongings. After all, she’s a sweet, elderly woman who lives in a nursing home. So what’s she doing with a Walther PPK, a German gun, that dates back from WWII? And why are there only 6 bullets when there should be 7? These are questions she refuses to answer, even while on her deathbed.
Shortly after her death, Paul has no choice but to find out about his mother’s past by himself. He quickly realizes how little he knows about her life during the war. His only lead is a man named George D. His mother had at least admitted that she left her first husband to be with George, and that she should’ve killed him while she had the chance. But that’s all she’ll say. Paul assumed that his mother was a young wife, a simple school teacher, simply trying survive through a difficult period.
However, the more Paul learns about his mother’s youth, the more he realizes that this kind woman probably lived a tumultuous love affair that could’ve led to murder.
