An employee of the UK Home Office , named Robert Fraser, is first beaten up and robbed. It later emerges that he was murdered shortly afterwards. The three young special agents (Maddie Cooper, Danny Bell and Alex Cox) become the main characters of the story when they are smuggled into a gang of car smugglers in order to finally have the illegal business of the gangs exposed. Alex and Maddie can "switch" to another gang in time.

Danny is supposed to supervise a warehouse in Deptfort in which larger weapons like grenade launchers are stored. But he is discovered and has to abort the mission. Maddie and Alex are also caught shortly afterwards, but they still find some valuable information that can help them further. The police blown the car door ring and arrest its members. The PIC succeeds in the coup and introduces the surprising turnaround in this case by being able to uncover gun-pushing organizations. It becomes clear that the leak is in the Ministry of the Interior. In the end, it turns out that Christina Brookmaier, the PIC's superior, was in charge of the gunsmith organization. Because of this, she always knew when and where the next search should take place.

The police, who were unsuccessful, now set a trap for Brookmaier. She is forced to meet the three young special agents by a trick. Boss Jack Cooper and his secretary Tara Moon manage to take Brookmaier by surprise and arrest, which ends the story.
