Hier lebt man abseits von der reich funkelnden Innenstadt Münchens. Die beiden Münchner Kriminalhauptkommissare Ivo Batic und Franz Leitmayr haben Schwierigkeiten, den Weg in das außerhalb gelegene Wohnviertel Münchens zu finden: Ein Wachmann der „City Security“ ist nach Dienstschluss erschossen aufgefunden worden.

Dennis Kellerer und der 16-jährige Pit Finke sind Freunde. Dennis hat die Leiche gefunden.
