The son of the pharmaceutical industrialist, Hermann Egner, lives with his wife Marion and young daughter Laura in the villa of his parents Alfons and Helen, who are still the owners of the family business and the villa. The father doesn't think much of his son and dismisses him because he withholds money from his parents' company and has no other skills as a businessman. One day Helen finds out that her son has a secret relationship with his daughter's nanny, Barbara Zumbühl, and she implores her son not to cheat on her daughter-in-law Marion any longer, but Hermann does not let his mother tell him anything. Barbara is pregnant by him, but he refuses to leave his wife for her. Barbara persuades Hermann to go with her to his parents 'company and collect evidence of his parents' dirty business. The next morning, Laura finds her nanny dead on the family estate. Carlucci and his new assistant Gertsch are entrusted with the case and learn from their superior that Alfons Egner is a former member of the National Council and that his wife Helen is a noblewoman, both of whom have great influence. In the forensic department, the officers learn that Barbara was knocked unconscious and later strangled. Helen testifies that she knew about Barbara's past and hired her after rehab to help her. Her husband was briefly at the company in the evening, otherwise he was at home like her son, the daughter-in-law had been to the cinema.

Alfons claims to have worked at the company with his deputy and nephew Charles Hottinger until 9 p.m., although, according to a woman, he was home an hour earlier. In response to Carlucci regarding the end of the cinema show that Marion attended, Hottinger and Marion claim to have spent the rest of the evening together. Alfons confronts his son when he learns from his wife about his son's relationship with Barbara, who replies that Marion is also going to bed with Hottinger, and that he knows about his father's dirty machinations and therefore does not let himself go by him condemn. Carlucci and Gertsch find out that there must have been some time between the beatings and Barbara's strangulation, and that she was not clean and was two months pregnant. Marion denies to Carlucci that her husband could have had a relationship with Barbara, Hermann also denies a relationship, later Hermann accuses his wife of having murdered Barbara. Because Alfons suffered a heart attack after the dispute with his son, Hermann is now the acting manager, together with his wife Marion he tries to get behind the illegal business of his father and Hottinger. Carlucci seeks out Hermann and tells him that his lighter was in Barbara's room the first time he went to the house. Hermann finally admits to having a relationship with Barbara that he had nothing to do with her death.

Meanwhile, it turns out that Hermann was actually the father of Barbara's unborn child, Marion later visits Carlucci and claims that she could not learn anything about the new drug from Hottinger, but also feels that something is wrong with it. She also confesses to Carlucci that her alibi from Hottinger is wrong, he forced it on her. She gives Carlucci the name of the German customer for the drug and promises him to keep looking around the company. Carlucci begins to trust her. The next day, Hottinger meets with his German business partner Wendt. Due to the investigation, Hottinger does not want to continue, but Wendt insists on delivery, and Hottinger must have Marion under control, otherwise others would “take care of the problem”. While Carlucci seeks out Hottinger, who sticks to his alibi, Gertsch arrests Marion on the orders of Stettler, in whose room Barbara's diary was found, in which she describes how she has been threatened and verbally abused by Marion, Marion protests that she does not know how the diary comes to her room. Carlucci finally gets her release, Marion tells Carlucci that she followed Hermann and Barbara into the company, Barbara followed Hermann into the building after a while, and later she heard Barbara's scream. She is certain that her mother-in-law placed Barbara's diary in her room in order to attach the murder to her. Carlucci later learns from the BKA in Germany that the German Wendts company no longer exists; it has been closed because of the illegal trade in chemical weapons. Carlucci and Marion, with whom he has now fallen in love, manage to get into the computer system of their in-laws and find out the deliveries and account movements. When Marion later wants to examine bottles with alleged medicine in the company, she is prevented from doing so by Hottinger, the bottles should only contain pesticides.

During the course of the night, Carlucci found out through an analysis of the captured data that the allegedly harmless drug is being sold abroad for significantly more money. He suspects an illegal deal with anthrax, and Stettler cannot dissuade him from following the lead. Carlucci seeks out Marion, but suddenly, in the presence of her mother-in-law, Marion claims that everything is right. Carlucci seeks out Hermann, from whom he finally learns about the anthrax, but Carlucci's superiors make no effort to prevent the deal, and Gertsch also implores Carlucci not to get involved in the matter because of Marion. In the evening, Carlucci visits Hottinger and Wendt and tells them on the head that he knows about the deal. Wendt is unimpressed, but Hottinger suddenly claims to have been forced to the deal. Wendt then pulls a gun and takes Hottinger and Carlucci hostage. When Hottinger tries to unpack, Wendt shoots him down, Carlucci can overpower Wendt and chain him up, Wendt indicates that his accomplice Künzli has Laura, who was picked up by Hottinger from kindergarten, under his control, and Künzli also killed Barbara when she was one Künzli's attempted advances in the factory that evening. Künzli tries to flee with the child, Carlucci pursues him and talks to Künzli, Künzli admits to having pushed Barbara so that she fell. When Gertsch arrives to prevent Künzli from escaping with the child, Marion also appears and shoots her daughter's hostage-taker. The next morning, Helen and her recovered husband Alfons Carlucci triumphantly announced that they had known nothing and that nothing could be proven to them, and that they would also help Hottinger to get out of the matter. Carlucci goes to Marion, he tells her that she has been to the factory and seen Künzel pushing Barbara. Marion finally confesses to having strangled Barbara.
