Chief Inspector Olga Lenski has been transferred to the border area between Germany and Poland around Frankfurt (Oder) with immediate effect. Her new partner is Chief Inspector Adam Raczek. During a routine traffic stop in Poland, a man flees the scene, but the car has a seriously injured person in it. Lenski doesn’t think twice and immediately brings the man to a hospital. But it’s too late to help: the student Tomasz Nowak dies of his injuries that night. Raczek, who is called back to work before his vacation is over, is supporting his new colleague with the investigations since her Polish language skills are quite modest. Lenski and Raczek suspect the car’s driver, Ramsan Dimaev, is involved, but he’s chosen to remain silent about the sequence of events, as does his wife, Ms. Sazzit. What connects the victim to Dimaev, a Chechen asylum seeker? Neither Marta Nowak, the mother of the dead student, nor his sister, Elzbieta Nowak, noticed any sort of changes in Tomasz, except that he was fully committed to his studies and working on his bachelor’s thesis. Further inquiries lead Lenski and Raczek to a boxing club owned by lawyer Tobias Vogel, where Tomasz Nowak had been training since he was a teenager. Despite this fact, Vogel claims to have hardly known Tomasz. Lenski and Raczek attempt to put together the pieces of this puzzle working with their Polish colleagues Viktor Krol and Edyta Visnievski.
