When a grave is opened in the cemetery, strange body parts wrapped in cellophane are found. Police chief Danzberger suspects that these belong to Edwin Schönborn, the missing son of the powerful hotel manager Johanna Schönborn, who disappeared two years ago. Danzberger begins the investigation with the help of BKA officer Birgit Wallner. Undertaker Blum and her colleague friend Reza Shadid are the first to be questioned about the macabre find.

Blum takes a data stick from the murdered lawyer Wagenschaub and checks his cell phone. She hopes that this will lead to a lead on her daughter's kidnappers. Meanwhile, Sebastian Hackspiel is following reports on the Internet about the discovery of the body parts in the cemetery. He visits hotel manager Johanna Schönborn and warns her that the past is now catching up with her. Schönborn then surprisingly gives Blum a tip about Badal Sarkissian's import/export company YAR.
