Luca is a strong-willed, soulful seven-year-old. After a two-year separation, her parents take her on a trip to pack up and sell their vacation home on a quiet island in the Aegean.

Three intertwining stories about women, who end up in a psychiatric clinic...

The IEK team investigates the corpse of 1970s-disappeared flower girl Monika Rothmann, both burned and suffocated as drowned. She was believed to have abandoned husband Herbert and daughter Anja without a trace, but it turns out she started a new life as a political and environmental activist, yielding potential motives and suspects, but also an adulterous affair.

During the 2006 football world cup match Tunisia-Ukraine in Berlin, Bernd and Nina Weyer's spoiled-rotten tomcat brat Lilly disappeared, leaving her model big brother Paul a hopeless 'substitute', until her corpse is found near the family home, but it was moved from a forest. The forensic team's reconstruction, co-starring an ant colony, proves painful, for Mertens due to his back condition, for the Weyers as it unearths marital troubles. Katrin also suspects the aupair, who wanted to turn Lilly into a girlish princess, and Bernd's PA, whose family assistance went beyond babysitting, the whole story spells more tragedy.
