When the paraplegic Peter Hoffmeister finds his wife murdered, he tries to take his own life. Jan Maybach can thwart the suicide at the last moment. Initially, the investigators have no trace until Lorenz Rettig provides a first clue: Julia Hoffmeister was registered in an escapade portal for married people. A lover claims that Hoffmeister beat his wife out of jealousy. But also Raoul, helper and friend of the family, was probably in love with Julia and felt pushed back.
