The Munich chief inspectors Franz Leitmayr and Ivo Batic are polite and by no means uninterested. The young colleague is increasingly gaining plus points. The three of them find themselves in a precarious situation on a routine business trip. In a burning car in front of a farm, they can see the outline of a person before the car explodes. In the window of the adjacent farm you can see the silhouette of a man. Leitmayr wants to provide the man. Shots are fired. Leitmayr scores three times. Siggi Aumeister collapses and falls into a coma. The internal investigations begin immediately. Franz Leitmayr has to hand in his weapon to secure evidence. His office is searched - routinely for alcohol and drugs. According to regulations, the police officer Leitmayr is offered a leave of absence after "firearms" experiences. He has to testify before a commission of inquiry. Investigator Maus is particularly sustainable in this context. Why did Leitmayr not recognize that the weapon of his counterpart was a "replica"? Psychological counseling is pending: Therapist Sophie Wiesmann refuses to prescribe Leitmayr sleeping pills for the patient. And Batic, of all people, testified to the investigative commission that Leitmayr took painkillers on the day of the crime. Why is Batic stabbing his long-term colleague Leitmayr in the back? But it is far worse to face the seriously injured Siggi's parents. Schorsch and Elisabeth Aumeister run a long-established iron and household goods store in the immediate vicinity of Leitmayr. Mother Elisabeth and father Schorsch know Franz Leitmayr as customers. Little did they know that he of all people fired the shots at their beloved son. There are machine pictures in which Siggi Aumeister is happily posing with a woman. But nobody in the family wants to know Adriana Kaminski. The older son Markus no longer lives in the parents' house. As the deputy branch manager of a hardware store, he leads an independent life. But the facade is crumbling. There was a robbery at the hardware store, in which Brother Siggi was allegedly involved. What secret is the family hiding? When Siggi dies in the hospital, the signs for Chief Inspector Leitmayr within his department point to storm. And not just there. Mother Elisabeth sees herself torn between the love for her husband Schorsch, who is unsuspectingly into debt, and her two sons. And she knows for sure: if the shop dies, Schorsch dies too.
