The gruesome discovery of a woman’s body shocks Potsdam: The body of a young woman hangs conspicuously in the bell tower of the Heilandskirche church. The case shows significant parallels to a mysterious murder many years ago, so Chief Inspector Gregor Weber has to ask the chief inspector who was investigating the case for help: Armin Weber, his father, of all people! Armin is the best profiler in the country – but since the case back then, there has been radio silence between the two. It was Gregor’s first case as a detective and Armin took him away without his knowledge. Gregor cannot forgive his father for this. It soon becomes clear that father and son are not only struggling with their own conflicts and a seemingly unsolvable case, but that they have fallen into the crosshairs of an overpowering killer. Can Armin use his profiling expertise to uncover the psychological depths of this puzzling case and prevent further crimes?
