Synopsis
A ransacked apartment, blood everywhere — but no body. Medical student Laura Karaca (Alinda Yamaci) has vanished without a trace. Months earlier, pediatrician Agnes Polyakov disappeared under strikingly similar circumstances. That murder was confessed to by Ramin Azar (Hadi Khanjanpour), a lab assistant at the medical start-up “Healing,” who also led the police to the victim’s body. But since Azar has an airtight alibi from his prison cell, he cannot be responsible for the disappearance of the medical student. While Peter Faber (Jörg Hartmann) suspects a copycat offender, Daniel Kossik (Stefan Konarske) believes they are dealing with a serial killer. Barely back in Dortmund, Kossik — convinced that Faber failed the first investigation — takes apart his colleague’s earlier work with visible satisfaction and reopens the original case. As Faber focuses on Sinan (David Ali Rashed), Laura’s ex-boyfriend, Kossik turns his attention to the sleek, transparent world of “Healing” and its CEO Jan Frederiksson (Mads Hjulmand).
