August 1961: Captain Max Heller of the Dresden Major Crimes Department is assigned to a desk job by his new superior. This is an affront to Heller, who plans to retire soon. When he receives a package containing evidence related to a longsolved murder case, he is alarmed. It soon becomes clear that the real culprit from back then has returned, and he is challenging Heller to a insidious battle of life and death. And thus begins a breathless hunt for a murderer, which places Heller’s family in great danger. The political situation in the GDR also escalates. Practically unnoticed by the rest of the world, the preparations are underway for the construction of the Berlin Wall. On August 10, 1961, Karin and Max Heller must make a fateful decision: to leave or to stay.
