Berns with an “E”

There I stood, all five eight of me, poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, soaking wet in my retro bathing suit, holding a dry pair of tickets to the Emmys that night, in front of a gorgeous woman, and I didn’t know who I was, where I was, or why I was. Or, just as importantly, who she was and what she was to me.

Over the course of the next few days I discovered I was a thirty-something Emmy winning writer-actor showrunning a popular sitcom, but I had to learn about that one detail at a time until my memory came back. Then I realized I could be anyone I wanted to be, but I had to decide who that was and what that would mean for my girlfriend, my wife, my kids, my father, my brother, my cast, my agent, my PR maven, my assistant, and a 135 other people who depended on me for their livelihoods or their lives.

I had the opportunity to change my life completely, and I did, eventually doing something real for other people while my gay sitcom character came out as straight and flipped the script on my show and my life.

Still reeling over the death of his daughter and deep in a messy divorce from his wife, journalist, radio talk show host and grieving father Rob Berns stumbles over the dead body of an elderly gentleman – his next door neighbor, Hans Feigenspan.

The police figure it’s a routine mugging but cigarette burns on the man’s body suggest otherwise. Digging deep and hard is all Berns knows to do, so when it turns up evidence that Feigenspan, a German immigrant, had some small part to play in Nazi Germany’s slaughter of millions of people, it’s all just part of the story.

What isn’t part of the story is that now someone wants Berns dead as well, even if that means they have to sabotage his brakes, push him off a cliff, burn him out of his apartment or set fire to him in a restaurant, all to make sure he never tells his tale.
