14-year-old Amina Halter is found dead in the woods. Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) quickly realize that the dead teenager's family environment was more than complicated: the biological father, Kaspar Vogt (Marcus Signer), a troublemaker and former drug addict; the stepfather, Beat Halter (Oliver Bürgin), the head of a Christian faith community. Two worlds collide - and Amina's mother Ursula (Sarah Spale), who was taken off the street by Halter with her two children, is right in the middle. In the course of their investigations, Flückiger and Ritschard are also confronted with their own past. Then they find out: Amina was three months pregnant, apparently she was abused. According to DNA analysis, paternity is unknown.
The question arises: How could something like this happen in this devout community? The fifth Swiss "Tatort" is about family ideology and faith. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard investigate the complex network of relationships in a free church community. Director Tobias Ineichen shot the second "Tatort" from Lucerne after "Skalpell".
