Out of the curve

Eva and Tom are a happy young couple. When Dominik, a friend from Tom's hometown, turns up at their front door one evening, Tom's hitherto perfect world is shaken. Dominik is now a detective with the Frankfurt police and has come to take a DNA sample from Tom. A few years ago, when the friends were still teenagers, eleven-year-old Adrian was murdered in Haimersheim. The murder has still not been solved. But now there are new leads and the case is to be reopened.
