Is there a safer space for secret desires than virtual reality? The most unusual and compelling love story of the new millennium.

Leo Leike mistakenly receives e-mails from an unknown woman called Emmi. Being polite, he replies, and because Emmi is attracted by him, she writes back.

Soon Leo admits: „I find you terribly interesting, dear Emmi, but I also know how absurd this is.“ And Emmi, soon after: „Your lines and what I make of them add up to the kind of man that I can suddenly imagine being, perhaps, a reality.“

It seems only a matter of time until they will meet in person but the prospect stirs them both so profoundly that they prefer to postpone it just a little bit longer. Also, Emmi is happily married, and Leo still digesting a failed relationship. And, after all: Will the emotions sent, received and stored, survive the test of a „real“ encounter? And if so, what then?
