The Danube River runs deep.
In a far-fetched twist, suspected murderer and seasoned private investigator Ferdinand Zankl finds himself in a precarious position. Accused of offing his ex, Nunzia Rossi, the animal shelter director, Zankl is under the thumb of the Passau police. The irony? He's grappling with more than just his legal woes. Archaeologists are hot on the trail of Roman artifacts in the Bavarian Forest, the same spot where Zankl buried an Arab hitman, Ahmed Bahdari, last winter.
To clear his name, Zankl enlists the help of his ex, Frederike Bader, a former police officer. Despite her desire to distance herself from the man, she agrees to take up the investigation for the sake of their daughter. Panicked by the prospect of exposing his hidden past, Zankl holds a knife to Frederike's throat, threatening to reveal incriminating evidence that could jeopardize her safety in witness protection.
As Frederike digs deeper, Czech puppy smuggler Jaroslav Kaiser emerges as a suspect. Kaiser is arrested with the aid of the Czech police, but during a lineup, he claims to have spotted Zankl at the crime scene, leaving Zankl's guilt in clear view. With motive in hand, the authorities remain firm in their stance that Zankl is the killer.
Meanwhile, archaeologists from the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments are closing in on the spot where Zankl buried Bahdari, unaware of the truth hidden beneath the ground. Simultaneously, Frederike unearths a second lead in the murder of Nunzia Rossi on the farm of popular Passau pop singer Ilka Unseld. The clock is ticking; Discovering the doubly occupied grave is imminent.
