16-year-old high school student Nadine Petzokat is dragged dead from Lake Phoenix. The victim drowned, but there are also signs of violence. She appears to have been raped before her death. The dead woman is dressed conspicuously expensively, which - as it turns out - does not fit her social background, since she comes from a humble background. There are also tensions in Nadine's family; Martina Bönisch learns from Nadine's mother Karin Petzokat that she has been leading her own life for a long time and is trying to distance herself from her origins. Nadine's best friend Julia Nowak tells the investigators that the two of them celebrated their birthdays with friends in a posh club the night before. Nadine stayed when Julia went home.
During the autopsy, Jonas Zander determined that there were around two hours between the rape and death. Could it have been two perpetrators? Meanwhile, the investigators view Nadine's cell phone videos. The films highlight the friendship between the two girls, their dreams and their search for identity. They also lead the investigators to the well-heeled clique that celebrated that evening at Club Century: prosecutor's son Lars von Hesseling, club owner Konstantin Prinz, Meike Götz, Oliver Pösko and Stefanie Katschek. In the course of further investigations, Tarek Abboubi, a previously convicted ex-boyfriend, is also targeted by the inspectors. Nadine had broken up with Tarek. Could it be an act of revenge? Konstantin König also confirms that there was trouble with Tarek that evening.
Now Nadine's father, Heinz Petzokat, is getting involved in the investigation. She was his everything. Oddly enough, during the night he had received a photo of his dapper daughter sent to his mobile phone and had tried to reach her several times without success. The club's surveillance video shows Petzokat waiting for them there in the car for hours later that night. Then Petzokat beats Tarek to the hospital. Meanwhile, Nora goes undercover with friends at the club to find out more. Does the solution to the case lie in the relationships between the friends?
