During her morning jog, a bullet missed Marie by a hair's breadth. Shepherd Kappes, surrounded by six dead sheep, had thought Marie was a wolf. But according to the tracks, there was no wolf at work here. While Marie investigates rabies to be on the safe side, the case is clear for Kappes and the village leaders Zielonka, Arthur Brandt and Heike Schäffer: The "Hackestüpp" is on the loose, a local werewolf who, according to legend, comes to the village every 20 years and who can be none other than pig farmer Gisbert Cremer. And because the visitation is supposed to take place today, on St. John's Night, Kappes, Zielonka and Arthur Brandt don't waste any time and stick to Gisbert's heels. While fear of the Hackestüpp is spreading in Hengasch, and prayers are already being said in Pastor Puttermann's church, Marie is relying on the voice of reason. Monster, werewolf or Hackestüpp - she wants to help Gisbert Cremer and prove to the village that all this is nothing more than hocus-pocus. But the power of faith and the magic of St. John's Night hold strange experiences in store not only for the people of Hengasch, but also for Marie.
