When the bicycle 13-year-old Sinikka is discovered in the exact same wheat field where a heinous murder/rape took place 23 years prior, retired police detective Krischan senses that the two crimes are connected, and vows to bring the killer to justice. The fact that Krischan was unable to catch the killer two decades prior still haunts him to this very day, but perhaps with the help of ambitious young officer David, this time he will find a way to bring closure to the case. Later, as the investigation begins and a sweltering summer heat wave washes over the town, the young victim's parents begin to experience an overwhelming sense of dread concerning a clean cut husband and father who had recently visited their home.

Swiss-born filmmaker Baran bo Odar directs this German murder mystery drama based on the novel 'Das Letzte Schweigen' by Jan Costin Wagner. When a teenage girl (Anna Lena Klenke) goes missing on a hot summer's night, her abandoned bicycle is found in the exact spot where another girl was raped and murdered 23 years before. The detectives assigned to the case include the newly-retired Krischan Mittich (Burghart Klaussner), who worked on the unsolved 1987 case, David Jahn (Sebastian Blomberg), a detective who has just returned to work after the death of his wife, and the heavily pregnant Jana Gläser (Jule Böwe).
