Lars Bogenius (Jonas Nay) is the undisputed star of a major German news magazine. Awarded numerous journalism prizes for his big, emotional stories, he is the hope of the publishing house and the salvation against falling circulation figures. But behind this shiny façade is a fraud. Freelance journalist Juan Romero (Elyas M'Barek) soon gets wise to him. The film is based on the book A Thousand Lines of Lies by Juan Moreno, in which he exposes the machinations of Spiegel reporter Claas Relotius.

One has success, the other has doubts! Freelance journalist Juan Romero (Elyas M'Barek) finds inconsistencies in a cover story by award-winning reporter Lars Bogenius (Jonas Nay). But for the time being, the bosses of the news magazine "Chronik" consistently stand by their celebrated noble writer and try to ignore Romero's search for the truth. The bosses have put too much faith in their young shooting star, and there simply can't be any irregularities. But Romero is unstoppable. In his research, he literally pushes the limits until he has nothing left to lose. Except his job, his reputation and his family.
