West-Duitsland, 1987. De politicus Uwe Barschel (1944-87), lid van de Christen-Democratische Uniepartij en minister-president van de regio Sleeswijk-Holstein, wordt onder zeer sinistere omstandigheden dood aangetroffen. Verslaggever David Burger belooft de waarheid te vinden achter een van de belangrijkste politieke schandalen in de Duitse geschiedenis, en onderzoekt talloze speculaties en complottheorieën terwijl hij zijn eigen persoonlijke demonen bestrijdt.
