Der Sängerin wird vorgeworfen, ihren Säugling in der Badewanne ertränkt zu haben. Als bereits bekannte "Rabenmutter" wird sie von der Presse und auf Social Media öffentlich bloßgestellt und schonungslos (vor-)verurteilt - eine Erfahrung, die Anwältin Conti unfreiwillig mit der jungen Frau verbindet. Sie übernimmt den Fall, und die Verteidigung wird für die einstige Staranwältin zum Comeback. Im Prozess um den Mord an der kleinen Zara steht Conti ihrer einstigen Referendarin Henry Mahn gegenüber. Für die junge Staatsanwältin ist es der erste Fall. Sie will keine Fehler machen. Für Conti steht Henrys erster Fehler jedoch schon fest: Zu Unrecht wurde Liz vorschnell in U-Haft gesteckt und damit in der Öffentlichkeit für Stimmung und Hetze gesorgt.

Gemeinsam mit ihrem Schützling Carlo, der es sich im vergangenen Jahr in ihrer schicken Kanzlei an der Alster wohnlich eingerichtet hat, vertieft sich Conti in die Recherche und Verteidigungsstrategie. Dabei stoßen die beiden auf Liz' wohlgehütetes Geheimnis.

Die Verfassungsrechtlerin Prof. Litten und der Anwalt von Richard Gärtner stehen Bischof Thiel und Ärztekammerchef Sperling dabei mit unterschiedlichen Meinungen gegenüber. Am Ende richtet sich die Ethikrat-Vorsitzende direkt an das Publikum: Soll Richard Gärtner das tödliche Präparat bekommen, um sich selbstbestimmt das Leben zu nehmen?
