The dead man was cruelly tortured before being locked in the container. The Hamburg LKA has to shelve the case for the time being because, despite extensive media reports, neither his identity nor anything else is discovered.
A body is fished out of the Norderelbe. It is quickly determined: She worked as a prostitute for a dubious pimp. While searching the room of the murdered teenager, the officers find a newspaper article that leads them to the man killed in the container.
The search for clues is elaborate and new suspects are added almost daily. No one suspects what kind of wasps' nest they are stirring up, and how many more victims they will discover, which, moreover, is brewing over their heads.
