When the state police department puts a female boss in front of him, Bergmann falls from the clouds: self-confident profiler Nicole Sturm is an ex he left for another woman. Meanwhile, Bergmann's heavily-pregnant colleague and almost-daughter-in-law Sandra ignores his order to limit herself to gentle office work.

The course of events is not that easy to reconstruct, however, because Vera had fainted and her partner Richie in the next room. Unfortunately, the omniscient control spirit also eludes any questioning by the investigators. However, his medium Vera seems to warn Cornelius more and more urgently of an immanent danger. Did the strange Dr. Stelzhammer had something to do with the murder? He stalks Vera and would like to drive her out of the dark forces with whom he believes she is making pacts.
