Journalist Lena Bach (Bettina Zimmermann) becomes interested in the case of a certain Tim Burdenski (Barnaby Metschurat), who has become known since featuring in a television documentary. Burdenski collapsed at the Gendarmenmarkt in central Berlin and died in one of the city's hospitals. In the course of her research Lena meets up with Tim’s old friend Sophie (Lavinia Wilson), who has serious doubts about his death, and the two of them join forces in their search for the truth. This brings them up against a mysterious labyrinth of deception and concealment, and they finally submerge themselves in a parallel society where the victims of second-class medical care have taken the law into their own hands to obtain their rights.
