The body of young Steffi Pietsch has been lying by the side of the road for a few hours and it actually looks like a suicide. But the cut clothes speak a different language. It is particularly depressing for Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper that they picked up the dead woman's daughter the night she was looking for her mother. It quickly becomes clear that this is a murder disguised as a suicide. It must have been someone who knew her well. This means that both Steffi's ex-husband and his girlfriend Claudia are the focus of the investigation. In order to establish better contact with Claudia, Mario Kopper even takes dance lessons at her dance school. A particularly commendable effort.
Together, Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper are also investigating at Steffi's employer "Metropol", a slaughterhouse with a large kitchen attached. You learn that the dead girl wasn't particularly popular with her colleagues. She was a rebel who almost suffered from paranoia because she saw deplorable things everywhere. The murdered woman had enough enemies. The only question is who did she offend so badly that it led to murder.
