One accidental gunshot twenty years earlier connects the destinies of two young women in the present – Anita, a police inspector who is successful in her professional and her private life, and Petra, a young woman whose everyday life would be simpler if she didn’t have to care for her alcoholic mother. When an investigation into the shooting incident is launched, these two women find themselves connected at a crucial turning point in their lives: both of them find out they are pregnant – not that they wanted to be, it happened accidentally. As the investigation proceeds, a friendship develops between Petra and Anita – a friendship that will have dramatic repercussions for both of them.
