Everyone longs to reach a happy, painless, comfortable, and dignified old age; that's why we work, earn, save, and raise children – that's why we live. It is about bare lives that old people buried alive in a house of horrors also seek. This is where the case of incredible human cruelty and hyenism begins, a case that the detectives from the homicide department must tackle at the end of a hot, stormy summer, during which they lost Burger, worn out by a serious illness, and Petra, seriously injured during a covert operation. Richard Krauz has no one left to advise him; he must rely on what he managed to learn from the oldest of the detectives. And as if that weren't enough, even his best friend and reliable partner Chosé is leaving the team – despite warnings and pleas, he sets out on his own to track down the treacherous shooter Gabo.
