The film takes place mainly in Potsdam . Detective Inspector Karin Wegemann receives information about pedophile crimes from the journalist Maik Fellner. The trail leads to the Voss couple, who live in a posh suburb and rent out young girls who live with them to strangers. The men sexually abuse the children in the forest and are organized in a secret group that includes a high-ranking state politician who also has access to information about the progress of the investigation. The group makes the investigation so difficult that they let Fellner be fatally poisoned. With information from Fellner, which he gave Wegemann on a USB stick shortly before his death, Helen Voss, the wife of the Voss couple, is arrested. The pedophile group meets in a remote house, where they abuse various children before they let them run into the forest to shoot them - similar to a hunt - to shoot them. One of the two Voss girls is shot down. The group instructs the politician to kill the other girl, but he cannot bring himself to do so, and a little later he commits suicide. Wegemann and her colleague reached the crime scene too late, the group was able to escape shortly before.
