Feline Wagner disappeared a year ago and a friend reported her missing. Now her body is found by chance in a burial forest during preparations for an urn burial. An argument at the site distracts Faber: It's hard to miss the fact that Commissioner Bönisch and the KTU member Sebastian Haller are already having their private dispute on duty again. Observing that Martina Bönisch's emotional life is putting a strain on herself and her work doesn't leave Faber unmoved.

Another murder victim is rescued, just a few steps away from the first. There was a year between the two murders - and soon twelve months have passed again...

During their investigation, detectives Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk uncover a torn community. Time cannot simply be turned back here in the lignite mining area.
