If murder occurs in the Salzburg-Bavarian border area, the responsibilities are not always clear. Therefore, the Salzburg major Peter Palfinger and the Bavarian chief criminal commissioner Hubert Mur jointly investigate when the real estate agent Holzer, who is by no means blameless, is found dead. They don't do that voluntarily. Their partnership begins reluctantly, their approaches and characters are too different. While Mur is a straightforward lone fighter and rationalist who comes to his goal with persistence, Palfinger is fascinated of the complexity of the human psyche. For him, who is in a wheelchair after a paragliding accident, there are often other perspectives on people and the environment. Incomplete paraplegia. This diagnosis a year ago was a radical turning point in Palfinger's life.
The incorrigible optimist takes it as a challenge. He is convinced that his paraplegia is curable and trains hard for it. At some point he wants to conquer the Untersberg again. Without a wheelchair. On his own two feet.
