Lawyer Anna Hartogh visits her client Simon, the boss of BootCamp, a large jeans company. When she sees a ring lying around, she impulsively puts it in her bag. That same evening, she falls in love with Max, a detective at the police. Simon's brother, Patrick, has to take care of an unpleasant task: he fires a designer. The next day, when Anna goes to lunch with Simon, he shoves a disturbing video in front of her.
Anna struggles with Simon's sexual blackmail. She confides in her friend and partner, Roos. There seems to be no solution. Max is suspended and is bored out of his mind. He wonders if he can informally get involved with the case of the missing Salena. Simon's brother Patrick faces Mirande's parents and feels guilty about her suicide.
