On a hot summer day, a girl named Pia is brutally murdered in a field of wheat by Peer, as his helpless friend Timo watches.

Recently widowed detective David and his colleague Janna struggle to solve the mystery of these parallel crimes with the help of Krischan, the retired investigator of the unresolved case.
