Schneider reluctantly takes on the supposedly easy task of killing Bax, a novelist sequestered in a remote lakeside cabin.

Mertens told him: “Schneider is a child killer.” However, Bax is not alone and soon has to deal with his younger lover, Nadine, when he remembers that Francisca, his depressed adult daughter, is about to arrive for a visit.

Francisca, who arrived depressed and frustrated that no one in her life seems to help her, runs from her father and finds an abandoned shack inside the wildlife sanctuary that surrounds the cabin.

Bax prepares to leave the house since his boss is dead and the contract is off; he considers this to apply, in principle, for his rival colleague, Schneider, as well.

Meanwhile, Francisca has discovered renewed inner strength and picked up her father's sniper rifle to try to eliminate the threat from Schneider.
