After two years, Erich Kessel (Fritz Karl) is released on probation. The time in prison was a nightmare for him – as a cop among gangsters. Kessel is now clean and wants to stay so. His ex-partner Mario Diller (Nicholas Ofczarek) got Kessel a job in a bar: “Anyone who doesn’t work becomes a bartender,” say some. “Once a cop, always a cop,” say the others. It boils down to both. Kessel has received an order from his fellow inmate Walid Schukri (Kida Khodr Ramadan) in prison: He is to find the murderer of Schukri’s daughter and bring him to him. 50,000 euros are up for grabs.
