The plot: A ten-year-old boy disappears without a trace and is found dead a few days later in the Grünwettersbach forest. The child had ingested a lethal amount of deadly nightshade. The tragic case haunts Karlsruhe lawyer Adeviye Bel, who learns by chance that a boy had already died in a similar way a year earlier. The two seemingly tragic accidents never let go of Adeviye Bel.
