17-year-old Simson is a successful prankster. He plays pranks on others, films himself doing it and broadcasts it live on the Internet. These pranks are Samson's "profession" that brings him some fame and decent money. When he messes with a rocker group, Samson is shot by an unknown man. Although many people were able to follow the crime on site and live on the Internet, there is no reliable description of the perpetrator. The two Dresden detectives Henni Sieland and Karin Gorniak dive deep into the world of Internet stars and have to realize that they don't know much about the adored teenage idols and the business structures behind the fascinating Internet stars.
In addition to greedy managers and unscrupulous competitors, the investigators meet a doctor whose black market in prescription drugs was uncovered by Simson. Sieland and Gorniak receive valuable information from young Emilia, who not only admired Samson, but also knew and supported him personally. Henni Sieland worries about the intelligent young woman who can hardly seem to cope with the death of her idol. Were Emilia and Simson really best friends or is their most important witness lying?
