Chief Inspector Adam Raczek gets a new partner at his side. Inspector aspirant Vincent Ross becomes involved in a murder investigation before his first day on the job. Ironically, the 22-year-old Bastian Grutzke was murdered above his new apartment in Slubice. The day before, the German student helped him move into the house. Adam Raczek, who is interviewing witnesses at the scene of the crime, is amazed to get to know his new colleague in this way. The traces in the victim's apartment point to a dispute that seems to be related to escalating inheritance disputes in the Grutzke family. Bastian's grandmother, the matriarch Hilde Grutzke, keeps a considerable amount of cash at home and sometimes opens the door at gunpoint. Her relationship with her family is strained and extremely distant. Does the question of who will inherit the old lady's fortune also solve the murder case?

When 22-year-old Rainer Werner Fassbinder storms the stage of a small, progressive theatre in Munich 1967, and seizes the production without further ado, nobody suspects this brazen young rebel to become one of the most important post-war German filmmakers. Despite early setbacks, many of his films breakout at the most renowned films festivals and polarise audience, critics and filmmakers alike. His radical views and self-exploitation, as well as his longing for love, have made him one of the most fascinating film directors of this time.

When a gruesomely staged body is found, propped up on a mountain pass in the Alps close to the German-Austrian border, two detectives are sent to investigate. For German detective Ellie, this is the first real challenge of her career; her Austrian counterpart Gedeon though seems to have lost any ambitions in his job. Very soon, they discover more crime scenes with symbolically posed victims, reminiscent of pagan rituals. It all seems to be part of a bigger, sinister plan. Ellie finds herself under increasing pressure to understand the deranged killer's motives so she can stop him. The hunt leads them ever deeper in the dark valleys and archaic Alpine customs - and the paranoid world of the killer.
