Full plot (contains spoilers)

The film is set mainly in Potsdam. Detective Chief Inspector Karin Wegemann receives information about pedophile crimes from journalist Maik Fellner. The trail leads to the Voss couple, who live in an affluent suburb and rent out young girls who live in their home to men they do not know. The men sexually abuse the children in the forest and are organized into a secret group that also includes a high-ranking state politician, who has access to information about the progress of the investigation. The group obstructs the investigation by having Fellner fatally poisoned. Using information Fellner gave Wegemann on a USB stick shortly before his death, the police arrest Helen Voss, the wife in the Voss couple. The pedophile group meets at a remote house, where its members abuse various children before letting them run into the forest, as if on a hunt, so they can shoot them. One of the two Voss girls is shot. The group orders the politician to kill the other girl, but he cannot bring himself to do it. Shortly afterward, he commits suicide. Wegemann and her colleague arrive at the crime scene too late; the group has just managed to escape. The USB stick disappears for mysterious reasons, allowing the pedophile network, as well as the Voss couple, to continue operating undisturbed. At the end, however, Wegemann learns that her colleague secretly made a copy of the data on the USB stick.
