Im Tunnel
After Maren's brother is murdered, the young woman is completely shaken.

She believes that the nuclear waste mafia is behind her brother's death and that her own husband Mehdi is one of the criminals. Maren no longer knows who to trust. She feels like she is being watched every step of the way and even her best friend Iris doesn't believe a word she says. Little by little, Maren has to ask herself whether her family is in grave danger or whether she herself is the one in danger...
