Jakob, Dominik and Oliver are friends, connected to one another not only through their football matches and occasional pub visits, but also through their profession. They are all priests, near the beginning of their careers. Jakob works as a prison chaplain, Dominik is active in a parish and Oliver aspires to a career in the church hierarchy. Then Dominik is arrested on suspicion of having sexually abused minors. Jakob questions the veracity of the allegations – until Dominik himself admits his guilt. Even then, the opportunist Oliver tries to cover up the scandal, but he has underestimated Jakob.
