A woman tries to start over after serving a sentence - and finds herself involved in another homicide. Johanna Wokalek plays the suspect who makes Eva Löbau as "Tatort" Chief Inspector Franziska Tobler and Hans-Jochen Wagner as "Tatort" Chief Inspector Friedemann Berg ponder in the eighth case from the Black Forest.
After four years in prison for the manslaughter of her father, Sara Manzer wants to look ahead. She has support for her new life - primarily from her friend Marlene, who is with her in theapartment. Sara, who has turned from a party girl into a reserved woman as a result of her imprisonment, wants to shake off memories and reorient herself. But then the police show up at her door. A former colleague was stabbed and old files on her case were found on him. She reluctantly admits that she spoke to Benno Rose before his death. He had new insights into her old case that should relieve her. Sara insists she had nothing to do with Rose's death. Which doesn't stop the inspectors from investigating.
