A series of murders startles the tourist town of Lahnenberg from its happy hustle and bustle. The guests of the place stay away, for the hoteliers a financial catastrophe is looming. A race against time begins for criminalists Moritz Eisner and Stefanie Gschnitzer: every day the perpetrator murders a tourist, which he plans and carries out perfectly. Is it pure coincidence that all the victims were guests of the Alpenhotel? The clues are sparse, but all murder cases have one thing in common: With every corpse, the killer leaves behind a "deadly souvenir" - a snow globe. Moritz Eisner and Stefanie Gschnitzer hit each other during theirInvestigations in this highly complex case through the financial and emotional jungle of the place and the leading hotelier family Kofler, who own the Alpenhotel.
The circle of suspects keeps growing: There is the brother Werner of the Lahnenberger Hotel Kaiser, Markus Kofler, who can identify just as little with the type of tourism practiced as his old father, who cannot stand against the superiority of the Kofler brothers can prevail. And finally, the DJ and entertainer Jan, who works at the Alpenhotel and who had a serious argument with a murder victim the day before, is examined more closely by the inspectors.
