Commissioner Jo(achim) Stoll stops to what seems a regular car crash, only to be held hostage at gun-point. *He and his team -which he manages to inform sneakily- soon realize his abductor, Gunther Rinn, freaked out having stabbed a man that morning and set out to find his wife Karla, who recently left him for the victim a while after his career went down the drain. While the chief mobilizes men and a helicopter, Jo sort of wins Rinn's limited confidence, preventing worse at Karla's buddy Heidrun Mehringer's place, comes to understand him and seeks the mildest outcome when the chase party catches up with them.
