When the investigative journalist Imke Leopold asks Thorsten Falke for help in solving a supposedly illegal real estate deal on Norderney, he initially reacts skeptically. When Imke is the victim of an attack shortly afterwards, which she survives only by luck, Falke regrets his hesitation and asks Julia Grosz to investigate with him on the island. Does the attack have anything to do with a large-scale construction project that was waved through due to the approval of some local politicians on the island? The lawyer and broker based on the island, who arranged the deal and made appropriate hints to Imke, is unfortunately unable to provide information - Falke and Grosz find him slain in his house .
