Legal trainee Fabian Schumann collapses shortly before a trial in the courtroom. Prosecutor General Bernd Reuther and his investigators must clarify the circumstances of the death. Schumann was doing his legal position in the law firm of Dr. Magnus Strelleck, whom Reuther knows only too well as a lawyer. Forensic doctor Dr. Sahra Darbandi assumes cardiac arrest as the cause of death. There are indications of cocaine use. Bernd Reuther asks why the victim used drugs despite a heart defect. Or had someone specifically given him the cocaine to kill him? Chief Commissioner Julia Schröder and High Commissioner Alexander Witte find out that Schumann apparently had no easy relationship with his brother Elias. Legal trainee Dr. Alina Berg and Dr.Teresa Anger puzzles the investigators.
First of all, it is unclear how the two relate to their late colleague. In any case, there seems to be great pressure to perform among the trainee due to the competitive situation. And that Schumann had kept an eye on Teresa Anger of all places did not suit her friend David Reimann at all. There are therefore a number of potential suspects from whom Reuther and the Commissioners have to identify the real perpetrator.
