Ellen (26) gets a final chance from her boss, either she delivers an exciting and emotional undercover report or she loses her job at the trendy Amsterdam online channel. Together with cameraman Tobias (30), with whom she recently split up, Ellen travels to one of the remotest corners of the Harz, where she is to take part in a family constellation in a rundown guesthouse.
Already the first constellation, led by the charismatic Karl Seitler (62), takes an unexpected turn. Ellen learns of a still unresolved crime that occurred 14 years ago in this place. The husband of the pension hostess Catharina (58) was brutally murdered at that time, and her two children Max and Lena have disappeared without a trace since the night of crime. Ellen is sure to be on the trail of a big story that can save her job. In addition, she receives an unexpected call from Lena, who went missing 14 years ago, in which the girl asks Ellen urgently for help.
When a new, brutal murder happens, and an incoming hurricane makes an escape or any help from outside impossible, a merciless struggle for survival for residents and guests begins. Under high pressure Ellen tries to get to the bottom of the events of the past and the riddle of Lena‘s disappearance. When she realises after another lineup that it was no coincidence that led her to this place, for Ellen a fight for life and death begins, as the sinister, masked murderer has unfinished business with her.
