action
The Lebanese Malik Safiris is found dead on the banks of the Weser , his pants are pulled down and there are ten knife wounds in his chest. According to the research he is in the gay milieu and is also on record as a "hustler". The investigators go to a trendy pub and ask those present whether they knew the dead man. The investigation leads to the train station, where Stedefreund will next ask around. There he meets Safiri's last friend, Raul Pavan, whom he takes to the station for interrogation. They learn from him that Safiri's cousin, Georges Bekassi, gave him money for his family, but instead of sending it to them, he had spent it for himself.
Stedefreund looks around in Safiri's apartment and finds out that he was working as an unskilled worker on a construction site. Leon Hardwig also works there, who is now being blackmailed by Pavan because he knows that Malik had last met with him. The investigators also find out that Safiris and Hardwig's paths have crossed before, and so they question him. Karlson had researched that there was a similar murder case in Lübeck a year ago. And it turned out that Hardwig had to do one year in Lübeck on a construction site. Confronted with these facts, he admits to being bisexual and having met Malik about two months ago. But his wife shouldn't find out.
Stedefreund wants to visit Pavan and only finds his sheepdog in his apartment. In search of him, they question the Hardwigs, but don't get anywhere. Karlson has since found out that, according to his account movements, Pavan has withdrawn money from gas stations in Spain and France, even though he doesn't own a car. At the construction site, the site manager says that Hardwig was there recently recently. He himself was stuck in a traffic jam and Leon monitored the work as long as fresh concrete was delivered and processed. Stedefreund must suspect that he may have "disposed of" Pavan's body there. So he has the concrete pried open, but there is only one dead cat. The site manager is furious and gives Hardwig his contract. When the latter confesses to his wife, she is furious.
Lürsen goes to Malik's cousin and questions him. He says he was pretty upset with Malik for squandering the money he gave him on himself instead of sending it to his family. He and his friend Raul did small jobs for him every now and then. He recently rented a car that Pavan then used to drive to Spain. So it turns out that Malik and Pavan occasionally fetched dogs from Spain for illegal dog fights. On the last trip, however, they had released all dogs out of pity, which had made their client very angry.
Stedefreund is convinced that Hartwig is the murderer and in the hope of being able to convict him at some point, he stands in front of his house every evening. Then one evening when the house blessing hangs crookedly at the Hardwig's, so that Jutta Hartwig feels threatened, she runs out to Stedefreund and seeks help from him. When he drives away with her in the car, she suddenly threatens him with a large kitchen knife because he has been getting on her nerves for a long time and she is afraid that another man will take her husband away from her. So she admits to stabbing the men. Before she can also kill Stedefreund, however, Lürsen, who was already looking for him, arrives and can thus save her colleague's life.

Reviews
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv summarizes his criticism as follows:
"The" guest "actors Felix Eitner & Fritzi Haberlandt also played an impressive role in the psychogram of a" terrible "petty bourgeois marriage."
focus-online comes to the conclusion: All evil is female. and all a little bit much for his poor, betrayed, pregnant, suffering, brave, compassionate wife who takes a few stress pains in advance.
Kathrin Buchner from Stern.de says: bisexuality meets honesty and that director Thomas Jauch has managed to create a colorful and exciting crime cocktail here .
As so often, TV Spielfilm gives its assessment in a short and concise sentence:
"Gripping psycho and" relationship thriller ""
