Hanover, LKA. Charlotte Lindholm is five months pregnant and in a bad mood because she is no longer allowed to work in the field. Nevertheless, she is the first to arrive at the crime scene when Afife (23), a young German-Turkish woman, is found dead by her husband Erdal. Everything points to suicide. But a little later, Afife's sister Selda (17) claims that Afife was murdered. She is afraid of putting herself in danger if it turns out that she is pregnant. She does not reveal who the father is. So Charlotte put Selda up with her for the time being. Martin doesn't think that's a good idea, he's always worried about Charlotte and stress isn't good for the offspring. Charlotte takes Selda's suspicions seriously and suspects an honor killing behind Afife's death. Maybe Afife wanted to leave her husband Erdal for someone else.
That would be a clear motive for murder for the husband. Charlotte's Turkish colleague Cem finds this theory absurd and racist, and Charlotte accuses him of ignoring the facts. Fatma and Aka, Selda's parents, are now very worried about their second daughter. Selda afraid to come back home. Charlotte, on the other hand, observes with irritation that Selda has a very close relationship with her brother-in-law Erdal and suddenly looks at Selda with different eyes. Is Erdal perhaps the father of Selda's child? Did the two kill Afife to be able to live their love? Selda is shocked when Charlotte confronts her with this hypothesis. Desperate, she leaves Charlotte and Martin's apartment. When Selda is found dead shortly afterwards, Charlotte blames herself.
Everything looks like suicide again. During the autopsy it turns out that Erdal cannot be the father of the unborn child. Meanwhile, Charlotte doubts her honor killing scenario. Instead, she follows the clues Selda laid just before her death and encounters a harrowing truth.
