A student of medicine announces on the Net that he has abducted his parents and threatens to kill them. The Austrian investigation team takes a while to find out that his girlfriend committed suicide because she failed in an exam, and could not bear this failure as her immigrant father did not believe in women in professions anyway. So he goes on a virtual crusade against "the system".

Ludwig Maria Pohl, aka Lupo, goes rather unnoticed by his inspector colleagues at the Weimar police station. This changes overnight when he becomes the target of a bombing and a deadly ricin poisoning is detected. Lupo only has two days left to live. Kira Dorn and Lessing have to find his murderer. Surprisingly they discover that Lupo is the son of a recently deceased owner of a traditional Thuringian porcelain manufacturer. Up until now, this fact was unbeknownst to anyone. Lupo is therefore entitled to one third of the considerable inheritance - much to the disdain of his "new" sisters Amelie and Desiree Scholder. Both women have a motive for murder. Doomed to die and desperate, Lupo takes the superintendent of the station Kurt Stich hostage in order to force the inspectors Dorn and Lessing to hand over his murderer. The investigation heats up.

In einer Stuttgarter Wohngegend liegt ein totes Mädchen auf der Straße. Der einzige Zeuge ist erst drei Jahre alt und entsprechend unzuverlässig, wie Sebastian Bootz bei der mühsamen Befragung feststellt. Der einzige Fluchtweg vom Tatort führt in den Stau auf der Neuen Weinsteige. Also macht Thorsten Lannert sich auf zu der Wagenschlange, sichert Spuren, sammelt Aussagen und begegnet dabei der ganzen Bandbreite von zunehmend gereizten Heimkehrern. Einer von ihnen muss der Täter sein.

In the insurance company ALVA, which advertises with the motto "Your partner for your safety", the department head Heiko Gebhardt is shot in broad daylight from the building opposite. A sniper in Dresden? Investigators Karin Gorniak, Henni Sieland and their boss Schnabel question the employees of the insurance company and find themselves in a network of employee intrigue and tough company policy. Cordula Wernicke reveals to them that the insurance company expects its employees to pay out fewer insurance benefits. At the same time, staff are to be cut. Shortly afterwards, she finds a projectile in an envelope on her desk - an undisguised threat. In order not to lose one's own job, the workforce is intensely bullied and colleagues are accused of recklessly granting a bonus or offensive behavior. Rainer Ellgast also suffered under this pressure, and because of this he repeatedly got into arguments with the murder victim Gebhardt. Is he capable of murder? The investigators find out that the alibi that he gives himself is not correct. Even among ALVA customers, Gorniak and Sieland encounter dissatisfied customers and ruined livelihoods - like Harald Böhlert, who was brought about by ALVA for compensation after an industrial accident and years of legal dispute. In the fight for his rights, Böhlert is supported by Martina Scheuring, who wants to expose the ALVA's evil methods with radical means. But some people who have been betrayed turn out to be fraudsters themselves for the commissioners at second glance. When another ALVA employee, Rainer Ellgast, was shot at the ALVA Christmas party, the investigators came under increasing pressure.

In their sixth joint case, the Berlin "Tatort" investigators Nina Rubin and Robert Karow are called to the outskirts. A body was found in a burned-out van. Rubin and Karow quickly determine that there were three other, older cases with a similar course of events. They were never enlightened. Is it a serial killer? Another link leads to Berlin-Wannsee: all victims were conceived with the help of in-vitro fertilization in a fertility clinic. Managing Director Dr. Irene Wohlleben and her laboratory manager and life partner Hanneke Tietzsche recently handed over the management of the clinic to Irene's son Dr. Handed over to Stefan Wohlleben. He was born in the 1980s as one of the first test tube babies in Germany. During their investigation, the commissioners also come across a loner named Harbinger. As a 16-year-old he attacked Irene Wohlleben, today he runs a key service in a Berlin subway station. Harbinger used to be called Werner Lothar and, according to his psychiatrist, suffers from borderline syndrome. Robert Karow uses unusual methods to try to gain the eccentric man's trust and lure him out of his reserve. In this case, Anna Feil, now a trainee inspector, makes an unbelievable discovery on her own behalf. And on the fringes of the investigation, Nina Rubin has a serious argument with her older son Tolya.
