At Lübeck's old town market, a man disarms a patrol officer and takes a young passer-by hostage. Inspectors Finn Kiesewetter and Lars Englen pursue the perpetrator into a parking garage. When Lars comes into the perpetrator's line of fire, Finn has to decide in a split second: he shoots and fatally hits the hostage taker. Shocked and deeply shaken, Finn has to undergo the usual examinations. When the hostage unexpectedly states during interrogation that the man had already surrendered before the shot was fired, Finn is suspended from duty and branded the shooter by the press. Linda Stamm from Internal Investigations resolutely starts the investigation, Finn is threatened with charges. Emotionally affected, he retreats to the old holiday home on the Baltic Sea. While his old friend Elke Rasmussen wants to support him there, Lars Englen and his colleague Gregor Michalski try to prove Finn's innocence. Why has the situation at the old town market escalated so much? When the two investigators begin to understand the background, it is already too late. Finn and Elke Rasmussen find themselves in mortal danger.
