"Franz Brosi is innocent ..." - this anonymous message arouses the curiosity of the "lawyer without a license" Thomas Borchert. His clerk, Dominique, immediately knows who it is about: the cabinet maker Brosi was her first client as a public defender and has been in prison for the murder of a young banker for eleven years. She can hardly believe that someone is now claiming his innocence - after all, Brosi had refused her help at the time and made an extensive confession. But Borchert wouldn't be Borchert if he didn't want to get something out of the silent model convict. But Brosi, whom he visits with Dominique in prison, does not want any easing of detention or legal representation. But Borchert does not give up and he soon suspects that there must be more to the story of the repentant sinner who wants to serve the full sentence. While Dominique is getting the old police files from Captain Furrer, Borchert drives to Prättigau to find the anonymous letter writer. In Brosi's home village, the lawyer tries to find out on his own what really happened. Not only the onset of winter in the remote mountain world, but also the icy rejection of the residents makes him shiver. Borchert soon believes he is on the trail of a secret for which Brosi holds out his head.
