Германия только что объединилась. В маленьком провинциальном городке на границе Восточной и Западной Германии, депрессивном, грязном и мрачном, пропадают две несовершеннолетних девушки. Для их поисков присылают двух сыщиков: Маркус - восточногерманский полицейский, быковатый громила, бывший следователь штази, Патрик – интеллектуал, комиссар из Гамбурга. Разная жизнь за плечами, разные методы работы – им очень трудно будет найти общий язык в этом городе, где подозревать можно каждого. А вскоре девушек находят - мёртвыми, частично расчлененными, со следами пыток и изнасилования. И, как выясняется, это не первые жертвы неизвестного маньяка. Многие девушки до этого покидали свои дома в поисках лучшей жизни на Западе… и исчезали. Чем дальше идёт расследование, тем опаснее для напарников становится игра в кошки мышки с жестоким убийцей, который, как кажется, ничего не боится...
