The body of trainee Melanie Elvering is found in a burned-out hair salon. Rosi, the boss (Birge Schade), and her second employee, Vera Rüttger (Jasna Fritzi Bauer), are shaken. Everything points to an arson attack. Chief Inspector Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Chief Inspector Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) quickly find out that there has recently been a heated argument between Melanie and an African drug dealer. This is arrested. After first Vera and then Rosi clearly recognized the drug dealer John Aliou (Warsama Guled), doubts creep in among the inspectors. Because John Aliou has a watertight alibi. When questioning Vera's roommates Juliane Kronfels (Anna Brüggemann) and Margaux Brettner (Odine Johne),that they move in nationalist circles and absolutely want to get rid of the African drug dealers. After Janneke and Brix increasingly suspect Vera of having something to do with the fire, Juliane and Margaux decide that Vera should go into hiding. But Vera doesn't want to be dictated to - the situation escalates completely...
