Crime scene hospital: In the early morning the internist Dr. Gisela Mohnheim discovered lifeless in the quiet room of the emergency room. The dead woman is not fully clothed, her head is in a plastic bag. Suicide? Unlikely, because the door was locked from the outside. But none of her colleagues on the ward saw anything. Nobody here has time for homicide anyway. The department is notoriously understaffed. The doctors and nursing staff are on constant duty for acute emergencies. Chief Physician Dr. Dr. Andreas Norstädter stands in front of his people: He is convinced that none of the clinic staff has anything to do with the death of the colleague.

A police murderer has already murdered 4 senior officers in North Rhine-Westphalia. In order to end the series of murders, a team of 7 colleagues from different departments should work together and deliver quick results.

For Luca Modica, the family is everything. He runs a small pizzeria in Dortmund with his wife Juliane. The restaurant is not doing well, but deliveries come regularly and are reloaded on site: cocaine, on behalf of the 'Ndrangheta. Their 17-year-old daughter Sofia does not know where the money that the family lives on comes from. Pippo Mauro suddenly shows up with a delivery. He committed a murder in Munich. Luca has to offer him shelter, the 'Ndrangheta demands it. After some initial hesitation, the two men approach. Pippo gives Luca new business ideas and he smells big money. At the same time, Juliane urges Luca to finally get out of the illegal business. While the Dortmund investigators Peter Faber, Martina Bönisch, Nora Dalay and Jan Pawlak are observing the Modicas' restaurant, their Munich colleagues Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr arrive to bring Mauro to account for the murder in Munich. But the Dortmunders want to find out more about the family's background organization before they take action. Nora Dalay believes she has found someone in Juliane who could help them with this. Nobody has any idea what consequences this case will have for the commissioners.

Sofia Modica suffers from the fact that her mother betrayed the family to the police in Dortmund. She went into hiding with her father Luca and Pippo in Munich. The hope that they can quickly travel on to Calabria is little consolation for Sofia. They are dependent on the Italian entrepreneur Domenico Palladio, a high-ranking member of the 'Ndrangheta, who uses Pippo and Luca for his own purposes to whitewash drug money in the construction industry in Munich. It doesn't take long for Pippo and Luca to make a mistake that puts the chief inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr back on track. Peter Faber also has a score to settle. When Sofia can no longer suppress the desire to contact her mother, she becomes a danger for Palladio. A race for Sofia's life begins.

The 28-year-old Nicolas Schlueter does not come back from his morning jogging session: A car hit the police chief. Schlueter was about to be promoted, he was popular at the police station and had good friends, his wife Simone is expecting their first child. There does not seem to be any evidence of a murderous motive or a suspect. And the bruises that Schlüter suffered a few days before his death, according to Simone Schlüter, can be traced back to a riding accident. Peter Faber, Martina Bönisch, Rosa Herzog and Jan Pawlak investigate in all directions - including at the police station in Dortmund-Hörde. There Martina Bönisch meets an old friend: At the police school, she got along very well with Katrin Steinmann. Today the head of the guard stands protectively in front of her team. In the weeks before his death, Nicolas Schlueter had apparently targeted a doctor in particular: Dr. Johannes Oberländer, who has made a name for himself as a seminar leader. Men should be able to learn from him how to be well received by as many women as possible.

The manager Josef Micklitza found a body with a gunshot wound in the Dortmund harbor area late in the evening. The dead man is his financial advisor Claus Lembach.

Feline Wagner disappeared a year ago, a friend reported her missing at the time. Now her body is found by chance in a burial forest while preparing for an urn burial. A dispute at the site distracts Faber: It can hardly be overheard that inspector Bönisch and the KTU specialist Sebastian Haller are already fighting their private quarrel on duty again. Observing that Martina Bönisch's emotional life is a burden on herself and her work does not leave Faber indifferent. Rosa Herzog and Jan Pawlak contact the Ihle funeral home: the gravesite was reserved here a few days after Feline Wagner's disappearance. It was paid for in cash by a man who gave a false name. Another murder victim is recovered, just steps away from the first. There was a year between the two murders - and soon twelve months will have passed again.
