Journalist Peter Veraas finds, after five years of investigating, the first sign that his brother was pushed to commit suicide. He and his sister-in-law, Eva, circle in on a top financier who knew his brother's secret. He discloses the word 'Abraham' before he too commits suicide. Peter continues the search for the truth while promising to keep his family out of trouble, but the police and his colleagues no longer believe Peter's explanations about what happened to his brother. The closer Peter gets to what really happened, the more certain he becomes to keep the truth hidden.
