It's already dark and they're standing at the bus stop. Charlotte Lindholm (Maria Furtwängler) and Klaus Borowski (Axel Milberg) - two chief inspectors who neither know nor want to get to know each other. They have just left a police seminary for different reasons. Charlotte has a private date. Borowski flees from a pushy seminar participant, the aging policeman Affeld (Hans Uwe Bauer). All three end up in the cab of an angry andhighly aggressive man (Florian Bartholomäi). He just found out that the love of his life is going to marry his mortal enemy tomorrow. It's not a good idea to provoke this man. Affeld does it anyway. A short time later he is dead. Borowski and Lindholm are tied up in the back seat. And as different as they assess the situation, they agree on one point. If they don't stop the driver, they will die.
