Former CID officer Henning Bröhmann is hiking in Hesse’s beautiful Vogelsberg Mountains when one of the group members tells him about a new political party called Hesse first! Since losing his job, Rudi has been campaigning with slogans such as “Bratwurst instead of kebab”, and intends to win election to the state legislature. Henning quickly finds out that the new group is using more than just posters to achieve its aims; they’re also planning some kind of attack on a nearby shelter for refugees! Sure enough, blood is soon spilled – but the more Henning finds out, the more confusing the whole picture gets. He finds small-time crooks from North Africa, and a new “citizens’ protection brigade” involving Teichner, a fellow ex-copper. And is the manager of the shelter having an affair that would – at the very least – compromise her position?
