Lawyer Caspar Leinen is confronted with a spectacular case when appointed by the court as a defense counsel: 70-year-old German-Italian Fabrizio Collini has killed the respected industrial magnate Hans Meyer in his hotel suite, seemingly without motive. For Caspar, there is much more at stake than his first big case as a defense lawyer: the victim is the grandfather of his childhood sweetheart Johanna and was a surrogate father to him in his youth.
