Chief Inspector Tammo Anders can hardly believe his eyes. By chance, he discovers a corpse right by the dike in Greetsiel. The deceased is Folkert Petersen, one of the most respected tea merchants in the region. A day later, Enno Duwe unexpectedly reappears in town. He had made many enemies as a young man in Greetsiel and had disappeared 25 years ago. Since that day, Tina Petersen, the daughter of the murdered man, has also vanished without a trace. Could all this be a coincidence, or is Enno involved in Folkert Petersen's murder? Tammo Anders and his colleague Fenna Stern are investigating in all directions. However, the inspector finds it difficult to remain objective, as he has a bitter score to settle with the main suspect.
