Set in the picturesque city of Amsterdam, the movie is a classic whodunit murder mystery that revolves around a serial killer who is preying on unsuspecting victims in the canals of the city. Huub Stapel plays the role of Eric Visser, a scruffy, rugged, womanizing cop who is investigating the case.

Amidst all this drama, Eric finds himself falling for Laura (Monique van de Ven), a beautiful and talented artist who is working on a painting project in the canals.
