Manfred Schirmer (Joachim Król) is desperate. His wife Anne disappeared without a trace on the drive from the weekend house to Bremen. The police don't take the matter very seriously at first - until chief inspector Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and her colleague Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) take over the case and actually find Anne's body. Stedefreund arrests a perpetrator and he confesses. But the commissioners can't provide any evidence. In addition to others, Inga even suspects the neighbour, Barbara Scheuven (Karoline Eichhorn), who is in love with Manfred. After all, Barbara does not find Anne's death inconvenient. The deeper the inspectors delve into the case, the more blurred the boundaries between truth, lies, feelings and police duty, real and intentionally laid tracks.
