The shock of what was found in the forest reverberates throughout the town, and the suspected perpetrator has now fled. Karlijn van Andel tries to get a grip on what is going on in her head and talks to her psychologist. The tensions between Rogier and Willemijn van Pallant are increasing, and their armor is slipping.

Karlijn and the man who still thinks he is Olaf Witte reconstruct everything that happened in Poland. This yields a number of bewildering insights and conclusions that make the case take an unexpected turn. Back in Schouwendam, a mysterious phone call from Poland is investigated.

Slowly but surely it becomes clear what happened in 1995, on the night when Olaf and Alice disappeared. Still, questions remain, and Karlijn tries to put the last puzzle pieces into place. Once again, two inhabitants of Schouwendam disappear without a trace.
