content
The doctor Dr. Tobias Falk makes euthanasia by prescribing his terminally ill patient a lethal drug cocktail and given her this with their consent. On the day of his birthday, he learned that the patient had made him the sole heir without his knowledge . The relatives of the deceased order an autopsy because they believe that Falk killed the woman. He is arrested and later to several years imprisonment convicted . His friend and lawyer Nico Vogler and his girlfriend Mia watch this helplessly.
Falk shares a cell with Paul Botz in the north of the JVA and is exposed to harassment by the correctional officer Bernd Hollerbach. After he saves the life of a suffocating fellow inmate by cutting the trachea , the prison director Katja Herwald offers him the position of the prison doctor, which was vacant due to a lack of funds. After initial hesitation, he accepted this and treated the prisoners together with the nurse and medical student Anke Bruchhausen .
Falk gives his friend Nico, who is representing him on account of the homicide , with extensive powers of attorney for his accounts so that he can initiate an appeal . Later in the plot, Falk learns that his girlfriend Mia is separating from him and is now Nico's partner. When his father visits the prison, Falk hires another lawyer to represent him in the appeal matter.
As Falk in the course learns from his mother that his father was a serious cancer has and urgent surgery needs to be, he asks the warden to temporary prison leave to be present at the operation to. However, he is denied this on the grounds that the relatives of his former patient (killed by the medication he administered) had extensive relationships.
He then initially plans to break out of the prison with the help of inmate Victor Rodenko, who for this purpose pretends to be ill. The plan provides that Rodenko should be transferred to a detention hospital after Falk's diagnosis - the escape should take place while the patient is being transported . After various complications that made his original escape plan fail, Falk finally managed to break out with the help of another inmate patient and his cell mate Botz.
