When her parents die in an accident, the gifted physicist Ruth faces an almost impossible task. They wished to be buried in the village of their childhood, but Gross-Einland, which is on no map and from which no road leads out, stubbornly hides from strangers. When Ruth finally gets there, she discovers a vast cavity beneath the village that seems to shape its residents' lives in strange ways. Hints of the hole are everywhere, yet no one will talk about it, not even when it threatens the whole village. Does the powerful countess, who rules over the community's memory, control the silence? And what part does Ruth's own family play?
