Together with his friend, Holger (Jürgen Vogel), he bought the young girl's freedom from human traffickers - without actually being able to pay. Meanwhile, the female detective, Maggie (Corinna Harfouch), learns after 16 years why her husband left her without a word. These two worlds come together when Chris is accused of murder, and Maggie is charged with interrogating him.
