It's one of those clear, cool nights that fall like a godsend in the middle of summer. If it weren't for the rent, Wallace would have no more worries. Then he sees Esther, who wants to throw everything away - and throws herself off a cliff. Wallace jumps after her, saves her life and falls in love with her. But before he can find out what she wants to flee from, she is already gone again, kidnapped. But Wallace wouldn't be Wallace if he lost his head now. He remains calm. Like a monk. Like an executioner. And he will find them.
