Episode 1
Friedhof der Welpen
88 mins
A young woman is chased through the Usedom Forest and falls into a trap, with her pursuer close on her heels. The scene turns out to be survival training that the loner Ivo Klose offers to 18-year-old Fabienne Leppin. At the same time, Karin Lossow discovers dead puppies in the forest while walking with her dog Lucky. She informs Holm Brendel, but the police are currently at major construction sites: Jana Leppin, Fabienne's mother, is missing. A large pool of blood in her car indicates a violent crime. Suspicion quickly falls on Ivo Klose, who has already served a long prison sentence for manslaughter and who Jana Leppin was afraid of. Jana Leppin was an employee of a nursing service. While Inspector Rainer Witt questions the employees, clients and the manager Elena Herzog, the discovery of the dead puppies gives Karin Lossow no peace. She asks Rainer's son Ben to post her self-made video of the site on the Internet in order to investigate the police - to the displeasure of Usedom's new public prosecutor and Rainer Witt's partner Katharina Stozek. In order to avoid a conflict, Karin temporarily moves into the holiday apartment of Jörn Scherer and his daughter Lara, who are currently building Karin's new home on Rainer Witt's property. But then Jana Leppin's body is found at the "puppy cemetery" - and suddenly Karin Lossow finds herself in the middle of a new case. Did Ivo Klose again take someone's life on his conscience so soon after his release? Or did Jana Leppin possibly learn something from the nursing service that should remain secret at all costs? On the way to solving the case, in addition to the new arrivals, two well-known faces find themselves at Karin's side.

While Karin Lossow is inspecting the construction site of her future home on Usedom, eight refugees from Afghanistan and Syria are waiting at the Belarusian-Polish border to be transported further by a group of smugglers. Among them are Ahmad Bashmani and his little daughter Amira. The refugees are brought into a van that sets off towards the west. At the wheel was the completely tired Grzegorz Kuchar. Although little Amira is suffering from severe stomach pain, the smuggler doesn't want to stop the car to get help. And so the girl is dead when the transporter arrives in Usedom the next morning. On the way to the construction site, young Lara Scherer meets the traumatized Ahmad with his lifeless daughter in his arms. She alerts Inspector Rainer Witt, who begins the investigation together with his team and prosecutor Katharina Stozek. While Rainer asks around the refugees and talks to Amira's loving mother Nadia Bashmani, Karin Lossow approaches the carpenter Jörn Scherer. He is worried about his daughter Lara and asks Karin to find out more about the circumstances of Amira's death. When Lara Scherer is finally about to start a personal campaign of revenge and comes across another dead person, Karin rushes to her aid. But just as she seems to be getting closer to solving the case, she witnesses a disturbing incident that has dramatic consequences for more than just her.

Die Ermittlungen im Fall des toten Flüchtlingsmädchens Amira Bashmani kommen dank Karins Zeugenaussagen endlich voran, doch nach der Ermordung des Schleppers Grzegorz Kuchar, der den Tod des Mädchens zu verantworten hat, stellen sich der Polizei mehr Fragen, als sie Antworten hat. Denn nicht nur Kuchar ist tot, sondern auch seine beiden Mörder, der Schlepper Sascha Leskow und sein usbekischer Komplize Shakir Adullayev.
