Damir Schröder, former star and players adviser at Handball club 1. HC Stuttgart, which is about to promote to the German national league, is found murdered in their VIP-lodge. Tension rose as he had ever less time for his clients, even present star scorer Florian Mayer. Schröder challenged despotic club president Friedrich Brett, whom fans blame for all club's troubles, by standing against him in upcoming internal elections. Damir also had an affair with Friedrich's daughter Annika Brett, the club's press officer, which is wife Inga Schröder claims to be one of many meaningless flings. Neither woman has an alibi, and Rico finds fraud.
