Andrea, a small-town policewoman seeking a fresh start, accidentally runs over her drunk, not-yet-divorced husband while driving home. In shock, she flees the scene, and later learns that Franz, a religion teacher and recovered alcoholic, has taken the blame, believing he was the one who hit the victim. As the village supports Franz’s confession, he spirals back into alcoholism, while Andrea works to erase all traces of her involvement. As the pressure builds, she struggles with her guilt. Ultimately, Andrea confronts the truth and takes responsibility for the fatal accident.
