Winter in Munich. The official weather records speak of one of the coldest days in the Bavarian capital in living memory. After a snowstorm, a forester finds the very young Stefanie Thaller on the edge of an industrial park in the north of Munich: half naked and explored. Rarely have detective inspectors Franz Leitmayr and Ivo Batic faced a murder case with such poor information, and the murdered woman's father, Ludwig Thaller, a street vendor, is breathing down the investigators' necks. The focus of the surveys is on the one handunconventional disco operator Kris Stanislas, and on the other hand two bold but successful young men: Oliver Hufland and Jasper Bruckner. They made their fortunes in the New Economy boom and have been caught in the crossfire of envious prosecutors.
But they didn't know the dead woman. In addition to the nerve-wracking research for Batic and Leitmayr, Chief Inspector Carlo Menzinger is plagued by another case: Sophie Berger and Max Kanther from the supervisory complaints accuse Menzinger of having treated the punk Pinky too harshly during the interrogation.
