Die Hamburger Journalistin Marlen Braun fährt in die Lüneburger Heide, um sich im beschaulichen Dörfchen Beekenloh ihr vermeintliches Erbe - den Hof ihrer Großeltern - anzuschauen. In derselben Nacht läuft ihr eine junge Frau vors Auto. Ihr ausgemergelter Körper ist mit blutigen Schnittwunden übersät. Noch bevor die Polizei eintrifft, verschwindet die Unbekannte spurlos in der nebelverhangenen Heide. Als am nächsten Morgen eine andere Frau mit den gleichen Verletzungen tot im Schafstall aufgefunden wird, erkennt Marlen sofort einen Zusammenhang. Bei ihrer Recherche stößt sie auf ungeklärte Vermisstenfälle aus den Siebzigerjahren und auf die mystische Sage des Totengrunds, der ein dunkles Geheimnis in sich birgt. Marlen gerät in einen rätselhaften Strudel aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Sie muss sich ihrer eigenen Familiengeschichte stellen, um den wahren Täter zu finden. Nichts ahnend, dass dieser sie längst im Visier hat. »Im Herbst, wenn die Heide verblüht ist und die Tage kürzer werden, kriechen die Seelen der Toten aus der feuchten Erde und irren in geisterhaften Erscheinungen über den Totengrund.«
