Four year-old Omar Mahfouz is found in his divorced ma Lisette van Swieten's home, skull smashed with a metallic object. Lazy Lisette has a history of unpunished abuse and dumps endless chores on Omar's sister Anne (7). Yet she points at the father, hard-working Egyptian immigrant Alheib Mahfouz. Like her boarder, psychology student Frederik Hoffman, she fakes an alibi. Grumpy neighbor Trudy de Winter couldn't stand the noise made by both hyperactive kids and owns a metallic walking cane. While most colleagues get all emotional and the commissioner forbids officially questioning Anne, Jurre also considers an accident.
