Synopsis: The courageous medical student Emma works as a night watchwoman at the forensic institute. The job pays well. Secretly, however, she hopes to find out more about her troubled family history. It was here that her parents once just barely escaped the serial killer Wörmer, a trauma that they never got over. In fact, there are plenty of gruesome details circulating at the institute about the crimes committed in the morgue. But the most explosive discovery: Wörmer is not dead, as Emma assumed, but is living in an asylum nearby. This awakens in the young woman the obsessive idea of meeting the perverse murderer who scalps his victims. At the same time, the neighborhood is once again shaken by a series of mysterious deaths.
