- Das hochmoderne Containerterminal von Bremerhaven ist Drehkreuz von weltweitem Handel, aber auch von international organisierter Drogenkriminalität. Die Einsätze verlangen den Zöllnerinnen und Zöllnern alles ab, sind gefährlich und kompliziert. Riesige und unübersichtliche Warenströme machen es ihnen schwer, die organisierte Kriminalität zu stoppen und zu oft haben sie das Nachsehen. Eine neu gegründete Ermittlungsgruppe soll das ändern: Katta Strüwer, die toughe und umsichtige Kontrollexpertin, der erfahrene Zollfahnder Gero von Bernbeck und der gewiefte IT-Forensiker Sven-Erik Dröse sind bereits ein hoch spezialisiertes Team, das dem internationalen Drogenhandel im Sumpf des globalen Warenverkehrs den Kampf ansagt. Neu in die Gruppe kommt die Expertin der Finanzkontrolle Schwarzarbeit Lisa Cunningham. Ihre eigensinnigen und manchmal auch leichtsinnigen Ermittlungen lassen nicht nur Gero von Bernbeck aus der Haut fahren. Unterschätzt die "Neue" die lebensgefährlichen Situationen im Betrieb des Containerterminals? Können Katta Strüwer, Gero von Bernbeck, Sven-Erik Dröse und Lisa Cunningham sich gegenseitig Rückendeckung geben? Nur durch viele kleine wie große Unterstützer wird der internationale Kokain- Schmuggel überhaupt möglich. Der illegal in Deutschland lebende Dmitri tut alles, um aus seiner Notlage herauszukommen, und gerät in die Verführungen des schnellen Geldes. Der alteingesessene Spediteur Sören Bargbrecht wird erpressbar, nachdem er sich einmal mit den Drogenhändlern eingelassen hat. Beide verstricken sich weiter in das tödliche Netz der kriminellen Banden. Auch mit unkonventionellen Ermittlungen setzt das Zoll-Team alles daran, Dmitri und die Familie des Spediteurs zu retten, den Drogenhändlern auf die Spur zu kommen und eine Gewaltspirale zu verhindern. So haben die Zuschauenden den Norden noch nicht gesehen: Regisseur Nicolai Rohde, selbst im Norden aufgewachsen, fängt mit seinem Team diese ganz besondere Stimmung rund um den internationalen Seehandel ein. Kameramann Hannes Hubach spiegelt mit seinen Bildern der ineinandergreifenden Systeme eines rund um die Uhr pulsierenden Container-Terminals, der Nordseeküste und riesiger Container-Schiffe, die Verletzlichkeit der Menschen. Im Buch von Nils-Morten Osburg geraten die Figuren zwischen die eigene Dynamik des Hafens, der Gezeiten der Nordsee und eskalierender Gewalt.
