Alex Berger, a respected teacher, is shaken when a student he once slept with is found murdered by a lakeside in his small Brandenburg town, prompting police to order mass DNA testing. As detectives close in, Alex confesses the affair to his wife but insists he’s innocent of the murder, while the strain threatens to tear his family apart.
