The aspiring investigator Sunny Becker returns to work after several weeks of sick leave. In the family LKA team, however, the reason for the absence is not known. Only her Spusi colleague and secret partner Alex Reuter knows why the self-confident investigator suffers from anxiety attacks. She does not want to confide in her supervisor and mentor Ralf or the psychologist Belling. Instead, Sunny resolves to get back to work without any hiatus. When the Magdeburg LKA takes over the search for a dangerous prison escape, the investigator sees her chance to free herself from her omnipresent trauma: she wants to catch the rapist and murderer Haffner. While the large-scale operation under the direction of her colleague Markus follows the wrong track, Sunny tracks down the fugitive.
