    There is a state of emergency shortly before the Kiel Week. Three million guests from all over the world are expected to celebrate the largest summer festival in Northern Europe. Now, of all times, a treacherously murdered woman is found in an empty apartment in the middle of the city center. There is no trace of the perpetrator, who had evidently set himself up in hiding for months. When inspector Borowski looks around the victim's apartment, he suddenly finds himself in front of a wall of fire. Roman Eggers and the inspector face each other for a moment. Eggers tries desperately to annihilate the consequences of his crime - and saves Borowski at the last moment. Then he disappears into the anonymity of the city, which is slowly filling up with people. When another body is found, Borowski and Brandt are alarmed: Are they dealing with a serial killer?

    Long-distance bus driver Beni Gisler sees the man on the bridge, but there is nothing he can do. The body hits the windshield and is thrown away. In his previous life, Gisler was a train driver and was involved in suicides several times. The latest incident therefore brings back traumatic memories. Inspector Flückiger knows Gisler from his time in the military. Supported by the psychologist responsible for the care team, he takes Gisler under his wing. It soon turns out that the dead man had a high dose of benzodiazepine in his blood. Under these circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to throw himself off the bridge alone. The identity of the possible victim also raises questions. Inspector Flückiger and colleague Liz Ritschard begin to investigate.
