GDR, August 1989: Hanna and Andreas became a target of the secret police and had to give up their plans for their future studies and desired professions. Instead, they face arbitrariness, mistrust and reprisals. Their only chance for a self-determined life lies in fleeing across the Baltic Sea. Fifty kilometres of water separate them from freedom - and only a thin connecting rope around their wrists saves them from absolute loneliness.

Recently, a tragedy deeply shook the siblings Sarah and Kevin. Their parents died in a car accident. Sarah suffers greatly from the loss. She is convinced that her parents were murdered by a creepy woman who haunts their home. Increasingly, Kevin must realize that his sister is in great danger.
