18-year old Valerie and her mother Trudy live together in rural Oostdijk, a quiet little village near Amsterdam. When Trudy comes home one night, she gets run over by a car. She dies, and her autopsy reveals that she has never borne a child. Soon after, more strange facts turn up. While Poilice Inspector Mellema hunts down the car driver, Valerie searches for her biological parents--and searches lead to the same sad truth.
