Ben detests the visits to his in-laws. His wife Karen suffers as a result. On the drive home, their car skids during an argument and crashes into a bridge pillar. Karen dies, son Jonathan has been silent ever since. The seriously injured Anja, who was in the car with him, has no sympathy for her brother-in-law. In her opinion, the thuggish egotist negligently caused the pile-up. Everything is about to come to light in the dispute over custody of Jonathan. Ben, whose life is in tatters, hopes that Karen's best friend Corinna will testify.
