The team of investigators led by Ben Neven and Christian Sandner has just freed a kidnapped child from the clutches of a pedophile and captured one of the perpetrators. But an internal investigation is underway because Ben shot one of the kidnappers in the process – and that’s when it becomes clear that there is even more to the case. Investigators find evidence that there’s an entire network of perpetrators who are sharing information with each other on the internet. Soon afterwards, one of them is murdered, and the suspect in custody also dies under mysterious circumstances. At some point it becomes clear that it’s not just the police, but apparently former victims as well who have stumbled upon the network – and are now taking revenge.
The investigators find themselves in a paradoxical situation: on the one hand, they are investigating criminals whose actions are deeply upsetting to them, and, at the same time, they are forced to protect these perpetrators from an unnamed threat.
