Talia Schröder hat schon eine Menge erlebt. Der Teenager mit dem langen brünetten Haar wirkt kindlich, die großen braunen Augen sind traurig und leer. Vor acht Jahren, sie war gerade acht Jahre alt, verlor Talia bei einem Autounfall ihre geliebte Mutter – das Kind musste das Unglück mitansehen. Seitdem leidet sie unter Schlafstörungen, unter krankhaften parasomnischen Beschwerden: sie erlebt schlimme Albträume, wacht schreiend auf, mag nachts nicht alleine sein.
Ein Aufenthalt in der Kinderpsychiatrie half damals, die Episoden der Parasomnia zu verlängern. Dann geschieht etwas im MDR-Tatort, das ihr Kindheitstrauma Stück für Stück zurückholt: Talia wird Zeugin einer Bluttat.
In dem leerstehenden Raum der renovierungsbedürftigen, alten Villa am Stadtrand von Dresden entdeckt Talia die Leiche des Handwerkers Jürgen Bach. Er hatte den Auftrag bekommen, das Zimmer herzurichten, schließlich wollen der Witwer Ben Schröder und seine mittlerweile 16-jährige Tochter Talia wieder einziehen.
