Albanian refugee Besnic Fishta, whose status is even more precarious then that of younger brother Ahem, a model student, behind on rent months to Bruges' filthy rich elderly rack-renter Thérèse D'Auregem, was beaten at home, possibly fatally. Adhem disappears, fearing eviction, shortly before Therese is murdered in her home. Van In investigates him, Therese's ex-con 'rent collector' Herman Daerdien and the young heiress, Marie-Christine. Meanwhile Van In spoils a rare coastal weekend with the kids to mark his disapproval of Hannelore considering the secure her reinstatement as magistrate by blackmailing the dirty judge who may hold the key.
