A spectacular protest action triggers a large-scale police operation: Hans Siegenthaler rains leaflets down from the Schanz AG high-rise, describing Bernadette Schanz as the murderer of his daughter. In fact, even Captain Furrer believes that the CEO stabbed the young woman after a jealous argument. However, since the criminal trial ended in an acquittal, a new trial seems almost impossible. Borchert and law firm boss Dominique nevertheless promise their client Siegenthaler that they will find a way to bring the guilty party to justice. When Bernadette is shot with his rifle and her husband Beat is seriously injured, everything points to Siegenthaler. Instead of trusting the justice system, he goes into hiding and makes himself even more suspicious. But Borchert and Dominique continue to believe in his innocence. When Borchert uncovers the web of lies and addictions, he sees the opportunity to help his client.
