Old Ghosts Two anglers discover a pile of corpses in a field near the polish border. The unimaginably high number of skeletons and animal carcasses leads the police to suspect a serial killer who has apparently been killing undetected for decades. Local detective inspector Roland Voit is assigned to support the large LKA contingent in the Oderbruch. His former childhood sweetheart, former policewoman Maggie Kring, is also called to her home town of Krewlow. After years of silence, Maggie and Roland are anything but impartial. Maggie is following her own investigations. She left Krewlow in 1997 after her brother became a victim of the historic Oder flood at the age of 17. The ex-policewoman doubts everything she knows - including the death of her brother Kai. |

Powder The large LKA contingent is searching for a serial killer in Krewlow and hopes to get a clue from the only survivor found on the pile of corpses. However, the seriously injured man is unresponsive. For the village doctor Frank Seeger, it is clear that "Pulver-Paul" is behind the bloody deeds. The gun-crazy hermit is holed up on his farm and obsessively believes he has to defend himself against overpowering enemies. When Roland Voit and Stanislaw Zajak want to interrogate him, a life-threatening confrontation ensues. Meanwhile, Maggie is staying with Adrian Demko, her childhood friend who is in a wheelchair. She is convinced that the key to the Oderbruch serial murders lies in their shared past. |

Dud In a mysterious vault beneath the pile of corpses, the police units discover not only more bones, but also a jar of water with leeches. The seemingly insignificant find awakens the memory of Kai, Maggie's missing brother, in Roland Voit and Maggie Kring. Kai was an extraordinary, mysterious boy. Maggie simply cannot and will not believe that he is no longer alive and now hopes to have found proof of this. She asks Adrian Demko for help. Adrian has been in a wheelchair since a terrible accident in their youth, when an unexploded bomb from the Second World War exploded. He instructs his carer Marek Gorski to accompany Maggie on a trip across the border to Poland. The trail leads them to a mysterious building in the border area - where Maggie is assassinated. |
