Nina Schramm, leader of the "New Patriots" parliamentary group, is increasingly becoming the target of hate mail and death threats. Inspector Falke and his colleague Julia Grozs are seconded for their personal protection. To the chagrin of his colleague, Falke and the right-wing populist make no secret of their mutual dislike. When Schramm's car is destroyed by an explosion and her husband Richard is killed in the process, right-wing networks report the attack by a "left-wing mob" and accuse the police of standing by and doing nothing. For the investigators, however, there are inconsistencies in the media campaign of the right-wing populists, especially since state security is obviously involved in the background.
