Story of 33-year-old Johanna, who wakes up distraught and disoriented in a park near her apartment the morning after her best friend Leonie's birthday party. Johanna has no memory of the last few hours. She doesn't know what happened, how she got there - a total blank. Obviously, however, she was the victim of an act of violence - the young woman was raped. Johanna presses charges against unknown persons. Her circle of friends, especially Leonie and her fiancé Björn, react with dismay and look after her lovingly. However, when the police find out that Johanna was given knockout drops at Leonie's party and it can therefore be assumed that the perpetrator came from her circle of friends, Johanna's life seems to fall apart at the seams...
