Another murder takes place in tranquil Klein-Freudenstadt. And once again Angela Merkel (Katharina Thalbach) is right in the middle of it. The cemetery gardener is buried upside down in the ground, with only his legs sticking out of a grave... After the body is found, Angela realises that she can't rely on the local police and throws herself into the investigation together with her bodyguard Mike (Tim Kalkhof), her husband Achim (Thorsten Merten) and, of course, Merkel's pug "Helmut".
