Plot: Anja and Frank Mendt take their two children Leila and Finn on a sailing trip on the Baltic Sea off Binz on the island of Rügen. When the parents briefly go ashore, the boat with the children on board is hijacked. When the parents report the kidnapping to the local police, Frank Mendt's father Herbert Winter appears there, having learned of the kidnapping.

Frank broke off contact with his father years ago because he was an investigator for the Stasi in GDR times. Now Herbert Winter wants to help find the kidnapper. He investigated a similar kidnapping case shortly before the fall of the Wall, in which the perpetrator was never caught. Winter believes he is dealing with the serial offender from back then, who has now become active again. (Source: Wikipedia)
