Dominik Graf, by far the most seasoned of the three directors of The Dreileben Trilogy, takes the reins in this second installment in the tale of a sex offender at large. Graf draws the criminal out of the background where he was concealed in Beats Being Dead, continuing the story from the perspective of Jo, a police psychologist. When she arrives in the German town near the site of the criminal’s escape, Jo reconnects with a married college friend, and the women discover that they once dated the same man at the same time. As the past is made present again, rumors of police corruption also arise, and pressure mounts for misconceptions and lies to be exchanged for truths.
