Die Unternehmensberatung Quocunsult macht als Betriebsausflug eine nächtliche Fahrt in einer Party-Trambahn. Doch beim letzten Halt am Sophienplatz kommt es zur Katastrophe: Dr. Felicitas Feldkamp, die stellvertretende Geschäftsführerin, wird erschlagen - Einsatz für die SOKO 5113.
Schnell stellt sich heraus, dass nahezu die gesamte Belegschaft nicht gerade traurig über ihr Ableben ist: Die Sekretärin Doris Huhn wurde von Felicitas gemobbt, was insbesondere Huhns Verehrer, dem Empfangschef Pirmin Kerber ein Dorn im Auge war. Alexander Wittmann schielte selbst auf den Posten des stellvertretenden Geschäftsführers. Und Dr. Eike Hansen, der neue Geschäftsführer, wurde von der Ermordeten erpresst. Eine harte Nuss für die Beamten der SOKO 5113, die erst durch einen zweiten Toten erkennen, welche Dimension dieses Verbrechen wirklich hat.
