Second Covid Easter. The country is under the strictest epidemic rules, including a night curfew. Yet Tamara wakes up in the middle of the night in her car on a forest road. She's covered in blood and she doesn't remember anything from the last few hours. She has no idea whose blood it is or where her 14-year-old son Ben has gone. A village in the Lusatian Mountains, where a mother and her son were spending a holiday weekend, is possessed by paranoia. Where do the roots of this intricate case lead? And will the boy be found before he's gone for good?
