Lucy loves Philip and, after his burnout, moved to the countryside with him and their son, even though this meant professional constraints for her. Elsa, on the other hand, lives for her job as a special investigator with the police, but is kept busy by the responsibility for her demented father. Both build their lives around men whose dark sides they'd rather not see. A story about Lucy and Elsa, about trust and deception, about love and violence.
