Berlin, December 1939. Criminal inspector Horst Schenke investigates the murder of a young woman found during the nightly blackout. His refusal to join the Nazi Party already makes him suspect, and the discovery of another victim forces him to work among officials more concerned with reputation and factional advantage than justice. As the killings lead towards the regime’s protected elite, Schenke must solve the case without giving the security services a reason to destroy him.
