The Unscarred

Summary

The Unscarred

When four friends meet twenty years later, they discover that trust is a strong basis for deception.

It′s 1979 and at the Stanford University villa in Berlin a wild frat party is in full force. Mickey Vernon, a young basketball prodigy, and his best friend Travis Moore, handsome, rich and privileged, are competing in a drinking contest for the affections of their friend, Rafaella Storaro. Johann Alt is referee. When things suddenly turn ugly Mickey′s sporting career is ruined.
20 years later: Mickey works in a rundown factory in Newark NJ. Saddled with serious gambling debts, he unexpectedly gets a call from Travis inviting him back to Berlin to see Johann and Rafaella, who are married and extremely successful. In Berlin they go out for a night on the town. In an East Berlin club, Travis picks up a girl and takes her to Johann′s place. In the morning Mickey finds her lying in a pool of blood. Travis, horrified at what has happened, tries to explain that she accidentally fell from the balcony. He wants to call the police but Mickey bullies them into reconsidering: No one will believe that it was an accident. Reluctantly, they wrap up the body for disposal. Bitter about his life, Mickey savours the idea that he finally has one up on his successful friends. But this dangerous game of betrayal and revenge will leave no survivor unscarred.
