Arno Linder, in his early thirties, lives in beautiful Vienna. As a doctor of classical philology, he is at high risk of poverty due to disastrous university reforms—he can only make ends meet with more or less legal side jobs. On a freezing night in March, Arno stumbles upon a drunk girl on his way home. When he decides to drive the beauty home, he discovers that the young woman from a wealthy family is apparently involved in a murder case. Hoping to be well compensated for his silence, Arno begins to take an interest in the background of the affair and steals the murdered man's phone and laptop. However, this is just the beginning of his troubles: with the murder weapon in his possession, he is interrogated by the police. His position at the university is at risk of being lost. And then a Serbian art dealer shows up.
