    Commissioner Murot suffers from the psychological strain of his job and undergoes a novel therapy: with the help of a machine, he can experience his own psyche as a walkable landscape. Meanwhile, single mother Eva Hütter flees with her son Benjamin after facing the loss of custody in court. She hides with the child in a cabin in the woods, but falls into a coma after an accident. Benjamin remains missing. With all leads gone, Murot embarks on a risky experiment: he connects with Eva's consciousness to find clues to the child's whereabouts while she is in a coma. The search becomes a journey through Eva's mind—and to the limits of Murot's own psyche. Ultimately, his colleague Wächter must also intervene in the case to save them both.
