With the help of his friend and former colleague Rudi Birkenberger, he uncovers a web of secrets and motives in the tight-knit community. As he delves deeper into the case, Eberhofer becomes distracted from his growing attraction to Mercedes, a newcomer to the village, by the discovery of a second murder. The case takes a dark turn as Eberhofer's mistrust is reawakened, and he begins to question the seemingly idyllic lives of the villagers.
