A fourteen-year-old girl dies on a cliff a few days before Midsummer, and a photographer is found murdered in his darkroom a short time later. Inspector Anders (Walter Sittler) and his team are sure that there is a connection. The hot trace leads to a riding stable, which was the center of life of the dead girl. Anders has no idea how close the murderer has already come to him…
