Plot
Stefanie Ritter is actually quite happy with her life. When the charming pilot Kai Mertens turns up one day, Stefanie feels that tingling in her stomach again for the first time. For her birthday, he surprises her with a dream vacation in Mexico. When she wakes up the next morning in her apartment after an enchanting evening in Mexico, the dream vacation turns into a nightmare: Kai has disappeared without a trace. Stefanie is arrested on suspicion of murder and ends up in a Mexican women's prison. Rough customs prevail among the inmates. It is only after almost a year in custody that public defender Paul Linke, a lawyer from Saxony who has fallen on hard times, appears and makes it clear to Stefanie that her hopes of an acquittal are illusory. There is only one way to get out of this prison alive: Stefanie must escape.
