In the tranquil town of Murbruck, a world is collapsing: in the morning, the well-respected Rudi Stiegler and his private bank go bankrupt, and in the evening he dies in his own house in a robbery. The rescuers called by his wife Lore arrive too late. Although the cause of death is clearly a heart attack, the burglars do not appear to be entirely innocent. For Commissioner Sascha Bergmann and his colleague Anni Sulmtaler, the whole thing looks like a criminal case. Anyone who is now without money is a possible perpetrator - from craftsmen to ice hockey clubs. The Viennese financial auditor Markus Tauber could also have something to do with the windy business. After all, for years he overlooked a pyramid scheme that allowed Stiegler to offer his customers overly high interest rates. While the desperate Murbruckers are now wondering how things will continue without the generous Rudi, Bergmann and Anni have to find out who really has him on his conscience.
