Summer of the Shadows

»I tell you, the 7th of July was the last good day in my life. The last good day, the last good evening – and in the night I was betrayed.«

Jannik sets up a network for a group of friends that his friend Nele had introduced him to. The dubious paroles didn’t bother him at first. Jannik wins approval and proceeds to rise in the group’s hierarchy. He doesn’t realize how deeply involved he is in the right wing scene until it is too late. After an argument with the leader, Jannik’s life becomes hell. Nele turns away from him. Do the others mistrust him as well? His dog is killed, data on his computer are deleted and he has the feeling he is being followed…
Jannik gets pulled deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of his fear. Soon he can’t tell reality from imagination. Who can he trust anymore?
