An enthusiastic lecturer and her student travel to Europe to go after the mythology of the Mothman, but they soon have to fight for survival.

At the end‐of‐year assembly, Tibor and two friends are browsing Lady Sandra’s website on a computer when the school radio announces he’s flunked history, dashing his plans for a Croatian holiday, parties and picking up girls. Instead, he’s sent to his father’s Flamingó Hotel in Balatonfüred to cram for the makeup exam. The once‐Soviet-era resort is barely recognizable, save for familiar faces: childhood friend Józsi, caretaker Tunyogi’s daughter Kata and kind Aunt Rózsi. Just as everything seems hopeless, a mysterious beauty arrives, and Tibor is convinced she is Lady Sandra, the woman of his dreams.

At 15 he and his family became victims of state terror. At 16 he became a freedom fighter to participate in the 1956 Revolution against Soviet oppression. At 17 he is betrayed and arrested by the dreaded Secret Police (AVH). Now he has to spend the remainder of his life in a political prison, called Hell's Hallway, to reach the legal age of 18 before his death penalty can be carried out. Peter Mansfeld was 18 when he was unjustly executed by the totalitarian regime of Hungary. Today he is remembered as one of the national heroes of Hungary.
