Düsseldorf, on a winter evening: before the eyes of his Spanish colleague, the lawyer Thomas Siebenmorgen throws himself to his death, destroying a valuable work of art in the process. María, who liked Thomas, is horrified and at a loss. What on earth drove him to this insane act? Viktor, a member of the crisis intervention team who has been called in, also begins to investigate: Are there any clues from the past that can help to understand Thomas's desperation? And what insights can Simon, the young star lawyer from the Munich office, who is assigned to an internal investigation that same night, uncover?
