In ein emotional aufgeladenes Beziehungsgeflecht taucht Grimme-Preisträgerin Désirée Nosbusch im achten "Irland-Krimi" ein. Als Kriminalpsychologin muss sie ein tragisches Geheimnis herausfinden, das eine tatverdächtige Zeugin in akute Suizidgefahr bringt. Der mehrfach ausgezeichnete Kameramann Hanno Lentz sorgt für die atmosphärische Bildgestaltung des Fernsehkrimis, der unter der Regie von Matthias Tiefenbacher auf der Grünen Insel und mit einer größtenteils irischen Besetzung gedreht wurde. In Episodenhauptrollen zeigen Serena Kennedy und Kerri Quinn ihre Qualitäten als Sängerinnen. Kriminalpsychologin Cathrin Blake (Désirée Nosbusch) wird mitten in der Nacht zu einem Notfall gerufen: Eine junge Frau droht, sich von einem Hochhaus in den Tod zu stürzen. Cathrin kennt die verstörte Frau: Moon Flynn (Serena Kennedy) war vor einigen Jahren bei Cathrin wegen einer Borderlinestörung in Therapie, hat diese jedoch vorzeitig abgebrochen. Cathrin kann Moon von ihrem Sprung abhalten, aber sie kommt zu spät, um Moons Geliebten Colin (Darragh O'Toole) zu retten, der von dem Hochhausdach stürzt. Selbstmord? Superintendent Sean Kelly (Declan Conlon) bezweifelt dies, zumal Moon, obwohl Zeugin des Unglücks, sich weigert, zur Klärung der Geschehnisse beizutragen. Moon ist jedoch nicht die Einzige, die etwas verbirgt. Colins Bruder Ben (Jack Nolan) und sein Vater Jonathan Carroll (Owen Roe) und auch Moons egozentrische Mutter Saoirse (Kerri Quinn) spielen nicht mit offenen Karten. Um die Wahrheit zu erfahren, muss Cathrin die Mauer aus Schweigen, Lügen und Geheimnissen brechen - gelingt ihr dies, bevor ein weiteres Unglück geschieht?

The psychologist Cathrin Blake actually wants to withdraw from her work for the police. 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.
