Forensic technician Dr. Viktoria Wex travels from Berlin to Pasym, a sleepy little town in the middle of the Masurian Lake District. There she has to be prepared for a painful farewell: Her uncle Fryderyk, whom Victoria has adored as a surrogate father and mentor since childhood, has been missing for days. A farewell letter to Victoria suggests his suicide. When she finds someone unknown to her dead in the basement of Fryderyk's house, the family affair turns into a criminal case. What for the village doctor Dr. Baronowski looks like an accident, Viktoria appears suspicious. She realizes that the corpse of Antoni Trudzinski, an unscrupulous investor, was expertly manipulated in order to conceal the time and cause of death. As a German civil servant, Viktoria is neither responsible nor authorized to do so, but the village policeman Leon Pawlak naturally includes her in his investigations. Leon's ex-wife, the self-confident Commissioner Kowalska, is not very enthusiastic about the voluntary administrative assistance. The residents, who Victoria knows from her childhood, also dislike the homecoming woman's criminalistic perfectionism. They would like Trudzinski's death to be put on record as an accident - and life could go on. However, Viktoria wants to find out the truth - even if it becomes even more painful for herself.

A recently eviscerated European bison is found in the forests of Masuria, apparently trapped by knowledgeable poachers. Forensic technician Dr. Viktoria Wex, who is actually on the way to the train station with the village policeman Leon Pawlak, makes another terrible discovery during the stopover at the place of discovery: the body of the shot ranger Glinski, which is located near the carcass. For Viktoria this is a crime scene that grabs her forensic ambition. What happened here about two hours ago? She decides: your return to Berlin can wait. Although the specialist from Germany lacks any police powers, Leon is just as uninterested in that as the instructions from Commissioner Kowalska to stay out of her work. Viktoria's special ability to draw conclusions from any kind of clues is particularly in demand in the case. Because the traces of blood on the ranger's clothes are a mystery. The statements of the wildlife park operator Tadeusz von Breska and his daughter Tereza, who takes care of the bison breeding, offer just as little evidence as the questioning of the victim's family. When Viktoria and Leon realize what income can be achieved with the meat of the animals, they are on the right track.
