Spring 1940. Germany is at war. Hitler is preparing to unleash the Blitzkrieg. When the owner of a nightclub is ambushed and gunned down in an alley, Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke faces a challenging investigation. The dead man is no innocent victim: he was a known gangster. As further murders follow, it becomes clear that the mobsters running Berlin's two most brutal crime rings are locked in a desperate struggle for control. In the murky underworld of Berlin's criminal gangs Schenke discovers new enemies just as ruthless as the monsters who control the Nazi regime. And Schenke's principles may have to be sacrificed to protect those closest to him. One false step, one careless word out of place, and the consequences will be fatal.
