Are ghosts and monsters really dancing out there against the backdrop of the mountains? The next morning, camper Luzia is completely distraught, especially since her partner David has also disappeared. Anna Hinterweger, who happens to be driving by, takes the young woman to the police station, where Sophia and Jerry initially doubt her story because Luzia is clearly under the influence of drugs. But then they find David's body in the woods. The police investigation is inconvenient for farmer Paul Hinterweger, as he fears negative publicity for his planned holiday resort.

Karsten Mehring, the manager of the upscale Watzmann retreat, is found dead in his official residence. Stabbed, as Dr. Hartmann determines. Judith Delius and Manu Högl, the center's founders, are devastated but unable to assist Jerry and Sophia with their investigation. The two women seem tense, having risked so much for the retreat. Did this prove fatal for the new manager? Perhaps Elli, Beissl's wife, can shed some light on the matter? Her former assistant at the tourist office, Daniel Kovac, has become one of the prime suspects! Elli can't let it go and begins her own investigation.
