action
Winnie Heller wants to withdraw money from her bank undisturbed when she unintentionally gets into a bank robbery and is dragged hostage into a delivery van with some bank employees and customers and held in an old, abandoned paint factory. At the time of the robbery, Heller was in contact with her partner Verhoeven via her cell phone, who thus saw live what situation she was in, but without knowing which bank branch it was. The kidnapping of several people was not planned, the gangsters were originally looking for someone they tried to find under the name Malina and who they assumed was the store manager, Mr. Lieson.
After one of the gangsters hastily shoots a customer who is entering the bank and they could not find Malina, they decide to take some hostages, including Heller, and flee. When they arrive at the paint factory, the hostage-takers advise on how to proceed: They demand a ransom, which the branch manager Lieson should bring personally so that they can get hold of him. Heller, unrecognized by the other hostages and the hostage-takers in her work as a policewoman, tries to sound out the situation and find out what the hostage-takers want, and inconspicuously creates a more precise picture of their prison. After one of the hostages was shot for no reason, the fear of the rest of the prisoners increased. One of them betrays Heller to the hostage takers by handing them their ID card, which they had hidden in prison.
In the end, the kidnappers notice that it is not Lieson Malina, but the kiosk owner Quentin Jahn, one of the hostages. It turns out that the kidnappers accused Malina of rape, raping Maik Voigt's mother Ylva 30 years earlier. She only remembered the name Malina, which points to Jahn's place of birth: Gorna Malina in Bulgaria. Meanwhile, Heller can overpower one of the kidnappers and seize his weapon and now follows Maik Voigt, who has Quentin Jahn in his power, to a previously dug grave in the surrounding forest. After Voigt revealed himself to Jahn as his son, he shoots him when he tries to knock him down with a shovel.
Shortly before, Verhoeven and an SEK arrived at the paint factory and freed the other hostages. After her rescue, Heller first asked Verhoeven whether he had fed her fish, which Verhoeven replied in the affirmative.
