When the handicapped pensioner Harald Lepper from Detective Inspector Trautzschke's neighborhood is murdered, suspicion falls on the civilian service provider Roger Schipanek, because he seems to have known about the pensioner's assets.

During the investigation, the SOKO boss realizes that he hardly knows anything about his neighbors and is reminded of his GDR experiences.

But Tobias Hellwig, Trautman's superior, could also have a motive, because Hellwig's wife and the victim had a relationship. But during the investigation, Leni Trautzschke, daughter of Chief Detective Trautzschke and friend of Chief Detective Maybach, gives the decisive clue that leads the investigators to the perpetrator.

The perpetrator appears to be a profiler and a fight begins for the commissioners to solve the case before an assassination attempt is possible.
