Granted, to be caught holding a gun next to the blood-covered body of a young woman is incriminating, to say the least. But Klaus, a childhood friend of police psychologist Richard Brock, claims he did not kill the young woman, his girlfriend Lisa. And Brock believes him. By pursuing a lead linking Lisa to a commune of well-to-do young radicals – "Eden" – Brock puts his life on the line to uncover the commune's agenda. Eden appears to exist on its founder's charisma and the funds of a drug-addicted young heir, Konstantin, who was also Lisa's second boyfriend. When Brock finds proof that Lisa was pregnant with Konstantin's child, Eden's complex mesh of relations threatens to spiral out of control. Sensing a calamity in the making, Brock and his police colleagues burst into the commune's living quarters, where they find a scene of quiet, chilling horror.
