Synopsis:

When the police raid an underground rave, newly graduated police officer Marc has to make himself (and his drugs) scarce. However, his stash is uncovered by Detective Minks who presents Marc with an ultimatum: join the homicide team in a particularly gruesome and dangerous serial murder case or lose his fledgeling career. Marc is soon aware that Minks' missing daughter holds the key to a grisly trade in decorated human skin and faces a sole operation to protect the innocent in danger and expose the head of the organization... Dark and stylish, this brooding psychological 'Se7en' style thriller will make your skin crawl as it twists and turns its way towards an unforgettably chilling climax.

This grisly drama about the hunt for a serial killer in the bowels of Berlin gives a sinister new meaning to the expression 'no skin off your back' because the suspects are involved in the auctioning of body art stripped off the victims. Although the story doesn't begin to add up, the German director has used the creepy premise to construct a grim disquieting mood piece whose clinical fascination with gore recalls David Fincher's 'Seven.' The copious amounts of red blood are the only bright colors to be found in a movie that paints Berlin as a sprawling, rain-soaked crypt. Gloomily theorizing about the current vogue for body art and body modification, it suggests that the human race has started going backward.

Marc, a newly-graduated police officer, is attending an underground rave when it is raided by the police. He is soon caught by Detective Minks who threatens him with expulsion from the police force unless he joins Minks' homicide team. It's not long before Marc is needed to access a world closed off to Minks and that Minks is looking for his missing daughter.
