The body of a 16 year old girl washes up on a river bank outside of Frankfurt, but no one comes forward with any information as to her identity. Then a popular TV reporter is attacked. She barely survives, but is able to supply certain hints to the police, having to do with her recent investigations into the uncovering of a child pornography ring with members from the highest echelon of society. As the two cases collide, the inspectors come up against a terrible secret.
