After a mysterious murder during the ghost parade of the "Samhain" harvest festival, however, Superintendent Kelly asks for her support. It's not just about the bloody act, but also about the disappearance of Holly Reid, the victim's friend. When her deeply frightened father, Dylan, a lawyer from a prestigious Galway legal dynasty, finds the teenage girl's severed finger on his doorstep, his worst fears come true. Everything points to a kidnapping - the time pressure to find Holly alive is correspondingly great. While Kelly is pressing ahead with the investigation, Cathrin calmly directs her attention to Dylan, who is suffering heavily from the death of his wife and struggles with himself as a single father. As Cathrin recognizes, he cannot or does not want to admit that his daughter is no longer a child. The psychologist soon notices that some things don't fit into common patterns at all when it comes to kidnapping. Holly's disappearance seems more and more like a staging. In order to find the young woman, the psychologist suggests a risky maneuver: the police should engage with the logic of a mentally ill kidnapper. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
