Julia is a new journalist with little experience. Her father is a wealthy Swiss investment banker, and her mother is a freelance journalist at The Economist. She asks her ex-boyfriend's father, who is a high-ranking police officer in the Swiss Federal Police, for an interesting story. He reluctantly asks her to investigate a notorious paedophile who has already died. Julia convinces a group of vigilantes to give her an interview and introduce her to people involved in the paedophile scene, including perpetrators and their families, victims and their families, and law enforcement personnel who are for and against paedophilia.
She visits perpetrators in correctional facilities and victims in their homes. They all have their stories. At first, she is with her mother and then with her ex-boyfriend David, who has borderline syndrome because Julia, his first girlfriend, broke up with him years ago. - Julia is laid-back and lively, never shying away from a flirtation or a spontaneous night out. Meanwhile, David is more of a gloomy traditionalist, sticking to his conservative beliefs and wrestling with jealousy. - Working closely with his love interest, David becomes increasingly despondent. In the end, he kidnaps Julia and her Italian boyfriend. David's father and Julia's mother rush to find them before David can torture and kill them. They arrive almost just in time, but David shoots his father, causing a life-threatening injury. David is tried and sentenced to life in a psychiatric clinic.
