A woman navigates the complex journey of motherhood while confronting her deepest fears and anxieties.

An oil complex burns. A young man is caught and caged. A young woman flees, injured—into the forests, where the dream of another future shelters. A state psychologist is assigned to assess—yet trusted truths falter: What does a just life look like in a wounded world?

A man is murdered on a remote riverbank, and a young woman confesses to the murder to the police that same night. Forensic psychologist Karla Eckhardt identifies the confessed perpetrator as Anna Lobrecht, whom she had classified as a compulsive liar in a report two years ago. It's possible that Lobrecht isn't telling the whole truth this time either.
