action
Knallhart tells the history of Eiskalt , which ran in 2005.
Jesse Stone has been fired from the Los Angeles Police Department for being drunk on duty. He and his dog Boomer make their way from their old home to the small town of Paradise, Massachusetts , where he has applied for the position of police chief and has been invited to an interview. He's recently divorced from his ex-wife Jenn, but calls her every day. After he had already had a lot to drink the night before, he made the mistake of drinking a glass of scotch on the morning of the interview, which those involved noticed and commented on afterwards ("Stunk like a brewery"). Despite the unfavorable interview, Jesse Stone is hired by the city council.
Hastings "Hasty" Hathaway, banker and chairman of the city council, conspiratorially hands over an envelope with 50,000 dollars, obviously bribes, to the previous police chief, Lou Carson, at a jetty near a wrecked freighter. Hathaway explains that this collaboration has ended because it is too expensive for him. This is seen to be the real reason for Carson's retirement as chief of police. A cheap replacement has already been found; an alcoholic who was glad to be able to hide here.
Lou Carson is saying goodbye to his previous employees, he was apparently very popular.
No sooner has Jesse Stone started getting to know the new hires than he is called on a domestic violence case. There he meets Joe Genest, who threatens his ex-wife in her house. Stone enforces the judicial ban on approaching Genest in an unconventional way. After initially being reserved, the Stone employees are gradually gaining confidence. His officer Luther Simpson is nicknamed "Suitcase" (in the original "Suitcase" or "Suit" for short), while he asks D'Angelo, whom he doesn't like, to call him "Skipper".
On the steep coast, Genest pushes Lou Carson in his car over the cliffs with a stolen truck, killing him.
Boston Homicide Chief Captain Healy visits Stone and informs him of his predecessor's sudden death. Stone has doubts about the initially widespread accident hypothesis. The Boston Homicide Investigation finally confirms these doubts. Stone suspects Genest indeed. Who claims he has an alibi without knowing when the crime was committed. Healy warns Stone about Genest, who is suspected by the Boston police of having committed some contract killings.
Stone begins a relationship with the town's legal advisor, Abby Taylor, while dismissing Hathaway's wife, who is making him frank advances.
Stones dog, Boomer, has to be euthanized because of the onset of kidney failure. Since he the vet does not like , he asks Doc Perkins, the pediatrician and coroner of the city to do so. At the same time, he persuades him to act as a coroner for Paradise in the future.
When Stone realizes that Hathaway and Genest are doing money laundering while monitoring Genest, he sets a trap for both of them: He tells the madly jealous Hathaway that Genest is having an affair with his wife. He arranges to meet Hathaway at the shipwreck that evening, where he also posts his officer, Luther Simpson. Genest appears at the meeting point and tries to kill Stone, but Hathaway shoots him from behind with the police chief's gun. Then he wants to kill Stone with Genest's weapon, but the latter can convince him that this version would be unbelievable and persuade him to give up.
