Frank Hennings loses his wife and daughter in a bomb attack in the middle of Berlin. In his grief, the retired civil servant focuses on just one goal: revenge. When the investigation is closed prematurely, he travels to Morocco on his own initiative and follows in the footsteps of Sharif Nader, the suspected mastermind of the attack. In order to get close to Nader unhindered, he applies for a job as a private tutor for his 13-year-old daughter Yasmin using forged papers. While Hennings teaches the girl in a heavily guarded house, he waits for a favorable opportunity to shoot her father.
