Simon Polt (Erwin Steinhauer) is no longer a gendarme. Arrived in retirement, he participates cheerfully in the Weinviertel on village life. When a corpse is found after a feast, his sense of right and wrong again becomes noticeable. The police do not see any third party debt. He sees it differently.

Even Franz Gasperlmaier had never seen anything like this before. He's seen a lot of things, after all, Gasperlmaier has been a police officer in Altaussee for more than twenty years. But a stabbed man on a Monday morning in the festival tent at the Altaussee Kirtag is too much even for a seasoned man like him. And so he makes a wrong decision, not his last one that day, and the dead man sitting in his own blood in the festival tent won't be the only victim.

After his handler is killed, police dog Rex teams up with recently-divorced inspector Richard Moser to investigate crimes and solve mysteries on the streets of Vienna. And they sometimes get help from their two-legged friend, Inspector Stockinger.

A family, blessed with richness and power, is desperately seeking for a liver for their father, who wants to hand down his wealth to the one who gets the organ.
