The supposed accidental death of commando soldier Gerd Lutze is being turned into a feature film by a successful director. Strange incidents during the shooting are to be investigated by Jan Swensen and his colleagues from the Husum criminal police. The film crew speaks of a conspiracy, but it is only when a murder occurs that a real investigation begins. But what does all this have to do with the German-Turk Gülcan Bayar from Husum, who was taken by the USA as a terrorist to Guantanamo? And what is the author Wimmer Wilkenloh doing in his own novel? Is there an answer to be found in the film, whose explosive story leads all the way to the Chancellery and Frank-Walter Steinmeier?.
