Dark mystery in the style of Sebastian Fitzek: Based on the bestseller by thriller author Melanie Raabe, a young journalist in present-day Vienna must confront the dark shadows of her past and possible future.

That is exactly why one should better avoid fortunetellers : The young journalist Norah has just arrived in her new adopted home Vienna, when she is already barked at in a rather unfriendly tone. Normal for summery heated Viennese minds, but less normal when the content refers to a potentially murderous future. Within six weeks, Norah will kill a man named Arthur Grimm, a fortune teller in the Prater tells her without being asked. It is only when really strange things start to happen, that Norah begins to confront her potential future and dark shadows of her own past. And that comes at a time when a new acquaintance confronts her with the deepest chasms of human nature.
