After the murder of his family and 16 years in prison, Benno Wiese is free. When he meets Vera Lanz, the past catches up with him: again he is standing next to a corpse. But "the boss" is correct in her assessment: Wiese is innocent, the death of the young man is the result of an accident. Meadow remains free. But now the former perpetrator is being hunted by the neighborhood mobs. The neighbors agree: Benno Wiese has struck again. Vera Lanz and colleagues Böhmer and Trompeter have their hands full protecting the former murderer from the neighborhood and relatives. How dangerous is meadow? Can a repeat offense be ruled out? His ex-wife and brother want to get rid of him as soon as possible. Only Simone Aigner, his daughter, still stands by the broken man.
