A young girl from Eastern Europe falls victim to violence and human trafficking. In Rostock, investigators Böwe and König uncover a web of exploitation, power, and corruption. Together with Natasha, a young sex worker, they enter a milieu that appears legal on the surface but is marked by dependency and brutality – fighting to bring truth and justice to light.
