Emergency work on a children's playground in Dortmund: But for six-year-old Emma, any help comes too late. She had mistook the colorfully wrapped bead in the sand for a candy. It was cocaine. Initial investigations quickly show that dealers often use the playground in the park as a hiding place for their drugs. How can you let your child play here, Martina Bönisch asks Emma's mother Claudia Siebert. Emma's father Roland Siebert is certain: the drug-dealing asylum seekers are to blame for his daughter's death. In fact, two young Senegalese dealers were caught on film during a recent raid on the park. Jamal Gomis and his sister Niara have been on the run ever since. Inspector Peter Faber has his sights set on drug lord Tarim Abakay, who is well known to him. But he accuses the competition.
Meanwhile, Martina Böhnisch has to struggle with giving up her own children: her husband has applied for sole custody and the two sons support their father's wish. Daniel Kossik is also jealous. His colleague Nora Dalay has a new boyfriend who is exactly his opposite: a well-to-do lawyer. And obviously Nora enjoys the security he can give her.
