11-year-old Darijo Tudor is dead. The child disappeared two years ago, but all the investigations at that time were fruitless. Darijo was the son of Croatian immigrants. His mother Lida worked for the influential Reinartz family of entrepreneurs. She, her husband Darko and her son lived in their house. Darijo may have been confused with one of the two entrepreneurial sons when he was kidnapped. Soon it becomes clear that the boy had been abused for a long time and died shortly after his disappearance. No one from the Tudor and Reinartz families alleges to have known anything about the abuse. Now, two years after the crime, the situation in the Reinartz house has changed drastically: Lida is now married to her former employer Günter Reinartz and has become the landlady. Her ex-husband Darko lives as a wildlife biologist in the forests of Brandenburg and hates his ex-wife and her new husband. Detective Superintendent Lutz Gehring unofficially calls the young policewoman Sanela Beara into the investigation. Gehring hopes that she, who came to Germany from Croatia at the age of six, can provide him with an insight that he, as a German, cannot have. As Sanela and Gehring try to get to the truth, an abyss of hurt feelings, disappointments and selfishness is revealed to them.
