Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Wildlife ranger Sara Jahnke prefers to live in the solitude of Canada's forests rather than among people. In her home in Brandenburg, with her father Robert Jahnke and her grown-up daughter Julia, she can only manage for a limited time. Shortly before her return to Canada, Sara is commissioned to track down and remove a wolf that has become conspicuous. When she finds the body of a Romanian seasonal worker, an outrageous suspicion arises. Is Silvana the first victim of a fatal wolf attack in several hundred years?

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
