If he can't get a new liver, Rolf Rauchensteiner is going to die. But he is not moving up on the waiting list despite his corrupt connections.

Rauchensteiner's estranged son is back. Kralicek suffers a setback. Rauchensteiner makes an offer: Who provides him with a liver will be worry-free.

Zeno looses in the Club of an underworld boss more than he owns. Rauchensteiner's condition worsens. Jakob and his sister rediscover their love.

In his delirium, Rauchensteiner sees ghosts from his past. Jakob's girlfriend is thrown into prison. Brunner tries to save his marriage with Barbara.

Rauchensteiner is nearing his end. Zeno is not doing much better. Canitz puts pressure on the mayor of Vienna. Barbara wants to divorce Brunner.

Until the last, Jakob is searching for a liver. Zeno escapes his execution. Barbara gives Canitz incriminating material against Rauchensteiner.

Rauchensteiner gets lucky. Even a wedding is coming up. For security reasons, Kralicek organizes a doppelganger for the new patriarch Jakob.
