Als sein junger Bruder Josef von einer Steinlawine getötet wird, glaubt Jakob an einen Mord. Er hatte jemanden auf dem Bergrücken gesehen, oberhalb des Gerölls, bevor dies ins Rutschen kam. Aber wer würde ein Kind töten wollen, und warum? Jakob verdächtigt Ramun, den privilegierten Sohn des Besitzers einer Zündholzfabrik, doch niemand nimmt ihn ernst und er ist zu machtlos, um Gerechtigkeit zu erlangen.Dreißig Jahre später wird Jakobs hochgradig taube Tochter von Ramun vergewaltigt und geschwängert. Entschlossen, seiner Tochter Recht zu verschaffen, kommt Jakob einer Vielzahl gut gehüteter Geheimnisse in der wortkargen Gemeinde auf die Spur. Aber ist überhaupt jemand bereit, die Wahrheit zu sagen?  Gerade als er glaubt, alle Fakten aufgedeckt zu haben, stellt er fest, dass er die ganze Zeit über einen grundlegenden Fehler gemacht hat. Nichts ist wirklich so, wie es scheint.
