Original synopsis

Overview

Benjamin Wolters, heir to millions, is found dead in his villa. Two shots from close range, no signs of a break-in. The list of his enemies is as long as Lake Constance is deep: Wolters was a cynic who loved to provoke, to have fun at the expense of others and to make them dependent on him. Even the members of his clique, which he gathered around him the day before over pizza and champagne, are all possible perpetrators: friend Marcus, whose girlfriend Benjamin stole, Nadine, whom he just coldly dumped in favor of another, the new lover AlisaAdam, the former casting star Daniel, who unfortunately only made it to second place and all the more depended on Benjamin's goodwill. Author Leo P. Ard and director Jürgen Bretzinger target a young generation around 30 who no longer holds anything sacred. Always at the limit and looking for the ultimate kick. Because that too is Constance: an island of the rich and beautiful. Privileged and quite talented, her focus is on quick success, regardless of others or herself. Everything becomes a game - a game of death.

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.
