Gnarly guys in a picturesque landscape: these are the old friends Horst and Johann, who retreated to the solitude of the Sauerland many years ago. The duo runs a small boat rental business on the idyllic Möhnesee. Horst, a spiteful misanthropist of the first order, prefers to chase tourists away with his shotgun, while Johann consoles himself for the dreariness of his everyday life with alternating women's stories. But even if the two of them snipe at each other like an old couple, they secretly know what they have in each other. Horst's beloved wife once died in a car accident. For ages, contact with his only daughter Lisa has been limited to a birthday card. When she doesn't arrive for his 66th birthday, the grumpy loner suddenly becomes worried and drives from the provinces to Frankfurt to see how things are. There he meets his grandson Elyas for the first time - but the sarcastic senior citizen and the quick-witted teenager immediately dislike each other. Finally, Horst realises that he has been lured into a trap: Lisa is worried about her father's health and wants to have him examined in hospital. He reluctantly agrees - and receives a devastating diagnosis. When Horst realises that he doesn't have much time left, he calls Johann for help, quickly escapes from the clinic - and with grandson Elyas in tow, the two of them are suddenly on the run from the police in a stolen hearse and on their way back to Sauerland. But the seriously ill Horst doesn't want to simply run away from his fate - he wants to try to come to terms with his life. So the trio sets off on an eventful journey to the places of Horst's past. It becomes increasingly clear that behind his trained loner facade lies, above all, grief for his beloved wife and his lost daughter. The trip to Sauerland represents Horst's last chance to put things back in order.

Part 1: In a bomb attack in the middle of Berlin, Frank Hennings loses his wife and daughter. In his pain, the retired administrator focuses on only one goal: revenge. When the investigations are dropped prematurely, he travels to Morocco on his own and follows in the footsteps of Sharif Nader, the suspected mastermind behind the assassination. In order to get close to Nader unhindered, he applies with forged papers to become a private tutor for his 13-year-old daughter Yasmin. While teaching the girl in a heavily guarded house, Hennings waits for a good opportunity to shoot her father. Hennings knows that his every move is being watched closely by Nader and his security guards and that he has little time. When his cover is almost blown, Nader's backers thwart his plan. A bloodbath ensues, from which Hennings and Yasmin manage to escape together at the last second. On the run, the girl realizes who Hennings really is: the man who wanted to murder her father to avenge something she couldn't have done. Part 2: Hennings and Yasmin only narrowly escape the bloodbath in their father's house. It quickly becomes clear that they cannot trust anyone and are not safe anywhere. Their faces are broadcast on Moroccan television and they are not only wanted by the local police, but also by the German Federal Intelligence Service. Yasmin knows that she can only survive if she accepts the help of the man who wanted to murder her father. A crucial test for the young girl. Her father's opponents suspect that she knows a lot about his arms deals and is in possession of his notebook, in which names and delivery dates are assumed. How explosive these names could be for German politicians becomes clear to Hennings when he talks to his old friend and ex-colleague at the BKA headquarters. Everyone involved seems to be playing a double game. Hennings and Yasmin are just a small building block in this structure and were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that could cost them their lives. Yasmin and Hennings must confront their conscience and their guilt and decide whether revenge or forgiveness are the values to guide their lives.
