Director Christian Bauer made seven films in collaboration with cameraman Allen Ross. Shortly after the last one, Allen disappeared. Now, four and a half years later, Bauer has made a film without Allen about Allen. Allen was reported missing, and without any further information, Bauer started an investigation. Like a private detective in a road movie, he visits places where Allen used to go and people he used to know. Contrary to his habits, the personally involved Bauer appears in front of the camera. His uncertain search is both sad and frightening: private footage of Allen and scenes from their joint productions alternate with extremely scary discoveries. Bullets are found, some clues point to a dangerous sect, and it starts looking more and more like Allen died an unnatural death.
