The Prodigal Son

Tension is high on the debut of the new homicide team from Magdeburg. Chief Inspector Doreen Brasch is known for her two-fisted, unconventional style, and her by-the-book, brainy colleague Jochen Drexler. They both have to overcome their huge differences when an African immigrant is found murdered in the middle of a local fitness center, apparently shot during a burglary. But not only the weapon is unusual - an AK-47. It seems the victim was dead by the time he was shot. The victim had paintball paint on his clothing. The clues lead Brasch and Drexler to a neo-Nazi gang, including Doreen's estranged son. Then one of the skinhead kids turns up dead, and Doreen starts to fear for her son's life. But they still have no way to prove anything. It turns into a race against time - can the two uneasy partners prevent the next murder..?

"An unusually physical role for Grimme Award winning actress Claudia Michelsen (The Tower), convincingly mastering this challenge as well. Sylvester Groth makes his character mysterious, impenetrable, leaving us eager for more." (Der Tagesspiegel)
