The startlingly powerful psychological thriller by international bestselling author Sebastian Fitzek has been adapted into a compelling TV series from Amazon Germany. The story revolves around Josy, the 12-year-old daughter of well-known psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, who disappeared without trace four years ago. In the aftermath of Josy's disappearance, Viktor's marriage broke down, and he withdrew to a remote North Sea island to find peace and to heal. Now, that peace has been shattered by the arrival of Anna Glass, a novelist who is beautiful, enigmatic, and schizophrenic. Anna's schizophrenia is rare and unusual: the characters she creates for her books become real to her. And she has started writing about a young girl who disappeared without trace...

As the past is dragged back into the light, their sessions and the consequences become ever more terrifying.
