Learn more- Midsummer in Dresden. Nine-year-old Rico Krüger disappears without a trace while playing in the park. The next day, young people find a bag with the body of the child on the banks of the Elbe. The autopsy shows that the boy drowned - but not in the Elbe, but probably in a bathtub; He was also sexually abused. The Dresden investigators Henni Sieland (Alwara Höfels) and Karin Gorniak (Karin Hanczewski) suspect the concealment act of a pedophile offender. They are under great pressure - politicians, the media and the public demand rapid investigation results. Despite hundreds of indications from the population there is no concrete trace and the DNA of the offender, which could be secured on the bag, may not be evaluated due to legal provisions to determine phenotypic characteristics of the offender. Kommissariatsleiter Schnabel (Martin Brambach) quarrels with data protection regulations and staff shortages and delivers verbal skirmishes with media representatives. He is personally affected and upset because he is burdened by the disappearance of another boy three years ago, which he has not been able to solve until now. A note from the school board leads to the suspicion of Ricos swimming coach (Niels Bruno Schmidt), who was friends with the family of the victim. The former teacher trainee had previously entered into a short homosexual love affair with a sixteen-year-old student, after which he was dismissed from school. In the heated mood, the unjustly accused man is convicted in the media and subsequently assaulted and seriously injured, as is Commissioner Sieland, who tries to protect the man from one of the attackers (Rico's stepfather). She is hospitalized with rib fractions and hospitalized. While the investigators grope in the dark, Ricos killer (Benjamin Lillie), an installer of public utilities, wrestles with his pathological inclination. He approaches another prepubescent boy, but spares the child first. His girlfriend (Alice Dwyer) knows her partner's dangerous bias, but he wants to believe that he can suppress and control his pedophile predisposition. She even tries to protect her boyfriend from the investigative authorities - she works at the school's office and is responsible for pointing out at the swimming coach. Finally, Henni Sieland, working through the file of the previous missing boy case again in the hospital, finds a connection between the two cases: at the homes of both affected families, water meters were exchanged shortly before the disappearance of the children. Meanwhile, Ricos murderer has lured another boy into his apartment and already stunned with a sleeping drug, but is caught and confronted by his suspicious girlfriend. When only minutes later the investigators knock at the door, the offender sees no way out and commits suicide by jumping out the window. The unconscious boy can be saved. Finally, password-protected photo files are discovered on the perpetrator's mobile phone, leading the investigators to a lake where they find the body of the boy who disappeared three years ago. In the final scene of the film, the investigators deliver the terrible news to the parents of the missing child.
