Anna Lou, a 16-year old girl, disappears in the remote town of Avechot, in the [[Italian Alps]]. The expert investigator Vogel is called in to lead the case. Vogel is famous for creating sensational media coverage around the cases he investigates. In fact, Avechot newspapers and television stations bear down relentlessly on Loris Martini, a local school professor who is charming but deeply in debt, and who becomes the prime suspect. But the truth turns out to be more convoluted: Martini is later cleared when it is revealed that Vogel falsified evidence, putting the professor's blood on the girl's backpack. Once cleared, Martini is granted compensation of 1 million euros. Meanwhile a journalist proposes the theory that the latest crime is the work of a past serial killer, known as the man of the fog. In the end, it is revealed that Martini did kill Anna Lou in a copy cat crime of the Fog man serial killer. He deliberately planted self-incriminating clues but without ever leaving concrete evidence, in order to spur Vogel to take action, licitly and otherwise, to frame him, as Vogel had done in a famous earlier case thereby winning the 1 million dollars in a suit against the police. It is revealed at the end in a discussion between Vogel and Dr Foust that Vogel murders Martini so he cannot benefit from his crime. In a final twist is revealed in the last scene that Dr. Flores is the man in the fog.
