Katja Baumann witnesses an argument between a farmer and an apparently homeless woman living on his property in her car, which is packed to its limits.
Katja is able to mediate the situation, but she can’t get the encounter with the strange woman, Linda Breitmeyer, out of her mind. Katja learns from the chatty baker that Linda is no stranger to Frühling; her husband disappeared without a trace many years ago. Various wild theories made the rounds back then, the most persistent one being the rumor that Linda offered her husband money to disappear from Frühling forever, so that she could have their children all to herself.
