In 1924 Hanover, the alarming find of a hundred human bones draws the notice of law enforcement. Media coverage intensifies as they swiftly apprehend a suspect, Fritz Haarmann. Dubbed "the vampire," his gruesome acts evoke the haunting memories of the Great War and signal the troubling emergence of Nazism. Amidst the fragile landscape of the Weimar Republic, themes of brutality, sexual violence, and cannibalism surface, reflecting the dark undercurrents of the time.
