Brix - 15 - Finsternis

In the middle of the night, a young couple calls the police. In a forest on the outskirts of Frankfurt, the two discovered a woman's body. But when the chief inspectors Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) arrive there, the body is gone. A car registered to Maria Gombrecht (Victoria Trauttmansdorff) was observed near the suspected crime scene. Although the car has also disappeared, massive traces of blood indicate that Maria was the victim of a crime. Confronted with this fact, husband Ulrich Gombrecht (Uwe Preuss) and two daughters Kristina (Odine Johne) and Judith (Julia Riedler) continue to cling to the fact that Maria is in France for fasting and will reappear.
Gombrecht is seriously ill, Kristina is heavily pregnant, and Judith is going through difficult rehearsals as a theater director. For the investigators, it initially looks like a robbery, but then the traces lead right into the middle of the family. Janneke and Brix soon discover that everyone here has secrets from each other. And in the end, the truth is far more gruesome than expected.
