The fifth case of Conny Mey and Frank Steier leads the two Frankfurt investigators into the hermetic world of a juvenile prison. During the morning investigation, 19-year-old Mustafa Zeydan was found dead. He was tortured - eight toenails were pulled from him. Frank Steier and Conny Mey can determine the course of events, but how did the murderer get in after the cells were closed and how did he get out again? Another inmate, Erhan Karabay, survived, also having his toenails removed. The investigative work is made more difficult by the stubborn silence of the other young prisoners. Mey and Steier learn from the social worker Katharina Enders that there was a massive argument between prisoner Jürgen Schuch and the judicial staff the evening before they were locked up.
Since then, he has been held in the "particularly secured cell". What connection is there between Jürgen and the two victims? And what do the closers have to do with the matter? When Conny Mey and Frank Steier questioned Erhan in the infirmary, he said nothing about the course of events, but he whispered to Conny that his wife and little daughter were in danger. In fact, it turns out a little later that the two have disappeared. Now a race against time begins for Mey and Steier. Under the working title "Der Eskimo" (February 17 to March 20, 2013) in Frankfurt, Hessischer Rundfunk is currently filming the latest case, directed by Achim von Borries, with Joachim Król as Chief Inspector Steier.
