- Genre: Crime
- Atmosphere: Dark and full of suspense, as a father-forensic pathologist follows macabre clues in a race against time.
The forensic pathologist Paul Hertzfeld, a specialist in violent crimes, discovers a note with his daughter's phone number in the skull of a terribly abused corpse. Hannah, his seventeen-year-old daughter, has been kidnapped.
An relentless hunt for bodies begins as her father follows the clues left for him by her psychopathic captor. The next body with clues is found on the distant island of Helgoland. The island has been cut off due to a severe storm and most of its residents have been evacuated.
Among the few people remaining there is a comic book artist, Linda, who discovered the body on the shore. In his desperation and without access to the evidence, Hertzfeld has only one option: to convince Linda to perform the autopsy following his instructions over the phone.
Linda has never handled a scalpel and has no idea how an autopsy is performed. However, she will soon realize that she has no other choice. Because the life of a young girl is not the only one in danger...
