While alleged child murderer Matthias Mattner is able to flee from his trial in Lübeck, LKA inspector Nora Weiss is having a personal nightmare.
On the ferry from Latvia to Lübeck her 9-year old godchild Daina disappears. But she doesn’t have much time to look for her as the case is given to her supervisor Jan Geissler. Nora is put on the case of the fugitive Mattner.
She also has to make do with her new colleague Simon Brandt. Nora reopens the case of another disappeared girl, Lisa Harms, and contacts her parents. She finds it hard to keep a professional attitude. Intuitively, she suspects a connection between Mattner’s case and Daina’s case, but she has no evidence.
