Plot Summary

After four years in prison on drug charges, reformed drug-dealer and Turkish immigrant Nuri, and his young German wife Katja finally settle into a happy daily routine in Hamburg, with high hopes of making a fresh start for themselves and their six-year-old son Rocco. But then, a high-power nail bomb and a racially motivated attack crushes friends and relatives under the unbearable burden of tragedy, robbing Katja of everything she loved: Nuri and Rocco. Has Nuri's dark past finally caught up with the family to haunt them forever? Little by little, the devastated mother succumbs first to drugs to dull her pain, then to utter despair, as the search for truth is sometimes an impossible task for a complex legal system with tied hands. And when the justice of men isn't enough, the thirst for retribution is insatiable. Written by Nick Riganas
