Borowski and the innocent child of Wacken

Story

A murder in heavy metal circles leads to a race against time. A dead infant is found in a car park near Kiel. The discovery of an admission wristlet for the heavy metal festival in Wacken leads Klaus Borowski (Axel Milberg) and Mila Sahin (Almila Bagriacik) to the village where in a few days the arrival of tens of thousands of music fans will obliterate any trace of clues. Their initial investigations point to festival caterer Michi Berger (Nikolaus Okonkwo). Also under suspicion are undertaker Meike (Bärbel Schwarz) and her son Jan (Marven Gabriel Suarez-Brinkert). And what has heavily pregnant Sarah (Anja Schneider) got to hide? Everyone concerned is driven by the search for perfect happiness, which in the end turns out to be a deadly trap.
