Original synopsis

Overview

It starts like a normal criminal case. A businessman's body is found. His brother and partner is a suspect and is clearly identified as the perpetrator by the traces. Only Inga Lürsen does not believe in his guilt. She keeps digging, putting not only herself but also those around her in mortal danger. Suddenly she has to fight for the life of her daughter Helen. Both are kidnapped and it doesn't look like they stand a chance of escaping the trap they've fallen into alive. Her colleague Stedefreund is ignored when he wants to help her and is suspended from work. Inga Lürsen realizes far too late that she has become part of a devilish game from which she can only free herself if she behaves differently than is expected of her.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
