Synopsis

In the last days of war in 1945, a serious incident occurs in Prien on the Chiemsee: led by Bachler Hans from Hittenkirchen, a group of locals tries to forcibly stop the advance of American troops - an attempt that ends tragically for all involved. Decades later: by a coincidence, Priener lawyer Sylvia Staudacher finds in the New York Immigration Museum on Ellis Island in old passenger lists a reference to a Therese Bachler who had emigrated to America from Hittenkirchen in 1866. Sylvia knows the woman and is looking for more traces of her. In fact, she finds their descendants in the hinterland of Philadelphia. There she finds that the Bachler Resi has accompanied the knowledge of a crime in the family on her escape from home. In parallel, Sylvia's husband Matthias picks up the thread and explores the history of the Bachlerhof in Hittenkirchen at home in Chiemgau. He quickly encounters dark incidents from the time of the Second World War. And also their tracks lead to America.
