Crimi author Vicky Heller staged her in-living assistant Melissa Kühn's kidnapping, as realistic research complement for her next book. But it turns into reality, and next a murder she claims to know nothing about. Her lurking ex Antonio Schmidt is found out as the fake ransom claimer, but has an alibi. Daniel Zimmermann is in town, who claims his father was scammed out of their family estate by Melissa, who wasn't convicted. Yet the team all sense Vicky is setting them all up.
