Deadline 14/10 plot
Antwerp, eight weeks before the municipal elections of 14 October 2012. The election battle between progressive mayor Peter Van Laer and conservative opposition leader Bert Coenen is in full swing. And just then Antwerp is startled by the disappearance of fourteen-year-old Lena Nijs. Her mother goes to the Gazet van Antwerpen with the request to place the photo of her daughter in the newspaper. The newly recruited journalist Marianne Smidt, who recently moved from Ghent to Antwerp, is following up on the case. A sweet treat for a novice, because no one takes Lena's disappearance seriously.
