Ein Roadtrip voller Komik, Dramatik und unvorhersehbarer Abzweigungen von Deutschlands Bestsellerautor Nr. 1 Sebastian Fitzek - mit zwei skurrilen, ans Herz gehenden Hauptfiguren, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Livius Reimer macht sich auf den Weg von München nach Berlin, um seine Ehe zu retten. Als sein Flug gestrichen wird, muss er sich den einzig noch verfügbaren Mietwagen mit einer jungen Frau teilen, um die er sonst einen großen Bogen gemacht hätte. Zu schräg, zu laut, zu ungewöhnlich - mit ihrer unkonventionellen Sicht auf die Welt überfordert Lea von Armin Livius von der ersten Sekunde an.

It makes her different from the echoes: the sophisticated, emotionless machines, built to resemble and work for the humans. Daniel is an echo - but he's not like the others. He has feelings he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in danger, he's determined to save her.
