In a mix of crime and history, bridge players from across half of Europe spend their holidays together in an old villa between the Moselle and Hunsrück. The former manor carries a dark past, and the atmosphere is eerie and bizarre. The remote area offers little variety, and the dreary, foggy weather weighs heavily on the spirits. Accordingly, the mood is tense as the ambitious individuals compete in the challenging card game. One of the players delves into the labyrinth of past events and tries to untangle the fatal entanglements. When a bridge player dies an unnatural death, the power of the past fully manifests.
