When he is appointed junior boss of the family-owned car dealership, Meikel flees his family obligations. Together with his friend Bjoern (Maximilian Simonischek) he sets off for the Maldives. But at the end of a relaxing holiday, Meikel has to leave his buddy behind on the Maldives. Björn, who loves freedom, has decided not to return to everyday life. Back home, Meikel realizes that something must have happened during his absence that his family can’t talk about. He is advised not to persuade his best friend to return from the Maldives.

The closer he gets to this secret, the more he realizes that he has to save himself rather than Bjoern.
