The European Secret Service is convinced that the new co-owner of the club belonging to Beat's best friend Paul is a dangerous man with close ties to organized crime; to protect Paul, Beat finally agrees to work with the Secret Service.

Beat tries to win Vossberg's trust; the two men are worlds apart, but Beats is able to get close to Vossberg; he soon comes across the first clues that point to Vossberg's criminal actions.

Beat gets caught in the crossfire when another undercover officer in Philipp Vossberg's circle gets busted; Vossberg's system of organized crime turns out to be a cynical cycle of violence and exploitation.
