Commissioner Helen Dorn is currently investigating the pimp and drug milieu. In doing so, she cannot prevent a young girl from dying of crystal meth . During the arrest of the responsible dealer in a disco, the investigator comes across the orphaned 17-year-old Mila, who also looks after her little sister Hannah. Mila's guardian is the lawyer Dr. Kurtz, who is obviously also involved in drug deals. He also takes advantage of Mila's addiction to abuse the young girl. Together with her friend Jasmin, Mila visits Kurtz in his office, where there is an argument and the girls knock the man down. They take money and a video camera with them from the safe without realizing that Kurtz recorded a murder in the drug mafia milieu. It was about distribution struggles with the succession of the recently imprisoned and seriously cancerous drug sponsor Gogol. When Mila discovers the video recording and recognizes the killer, she wants to blackmail him. But it is Gogol's foster son Nikolai and so she is in great danger.
Helen Dorn is now dealing with two new bodies, the drug dealer who was killed and Dr. Kurtz, who was also Gogol's lawyer.

Nevertheless, the trail quickly leads to Mila, who has recently been hiding and also has her sister with her. To protect the two girls gets thorn in the crossfire of rival gangs, which now also a revealed undercover agent killed. As things stand, it should not be a normal gang war, but a merger in which the new leadership is now being fought out. Dorn informs Gogol that his foster son Nikolai is absolutely not acting according to the old "Mafia honor", but is pursuing his own goals. In search of Mila, the inspector arrives just in time to protect her from Nikolai. So she comes into possession of the video recordings and can thus convict Gogol's son of the murder. Before she can arrest him, however, he is shot by his opponents on the street. For killing Dr. Kurtz is able to identify Helen Dorn's wife, who knew about her husband's antics and suffered as a result. When she found him dejected in his office, she had taken the chance to "break free" from him.

criticism
Volker Bergmeister from tittelbach.tv wrote: “'Helen Dorn - Verlorene Mädchen' is a thriller that is quite entertaining, but also shows you the limits of this crime series in its current form: What was special about the detective's character at the beginning has become long worn out. The strict, always controlled and introverted-closed thorn, who likes to defy rules and follows her intuition and knowledge of human nature, should finally get a challenging counterpart again, or a lover or a lover ... the main thing is that something moves! That would be good for Dorn / Loos. But also for the audience. "
The TV Spielfilm editorial team gave the crime thriller a “thumbs up” and said: “You have to give it to her: As a committed, mission-driven policewoman who struggles to suppress anger and frustration, Anna Loos is regularly in top form. "Conclusion:" Rough, gripping thriller from the edge of the street. "
Ulrich Feld from fnp said: “Three different thrillers could have been made from the different storylines. The connection turns out to be rather awkward, the story seems rambling and poorly thought out in some places. "
In Quotenmeter.de Stefan Turiak wrote: "voltage would not rise in this crime drama. The figures are drawn like stencils and are played both soporific and dispassionately. The staging remains sedate and is neither positive nor negative. A thriller that doesn't stand out because of anything special and ignores both interesting and important topics. "
