The promise of a better life is pivotal in ten-year-old Fee’s decision to travel from her home in Romania to Germany.

When commissioner Wegemann takes up this serious case of sexual abuse, there’s a shocking discovery: a respected judge is a customer of the crime ring – and the state attorney helping her is a good friend of the judge.
