An enormously wealthy woman returns to her hometown with a dreadful bargain: She wants the townspeople to kill the man who jilted her in exchange for enough money to revitalize the town.
The new waitress at the Gasthof zur Post is an object of desire for all men in the village.
In the middle of the night, Nicki is once again haunted by intense feelings that she can't explain. A visit to the doctor is supposed to help and behold: the more he pokes around in the past, the more a connection between Nicki and her twin sister Karen becomes apparent. In addition, the two ladies are each pursued by a menacing man who roams the streets late at night with a knife and seems to be in cahoots with an oddball antiques dealer.
An adventure directed by Rolf Olsen.
