Presumably, the life coach Martin Becker should be killed at his book launch by a poisoned drink. But his colleague Sven Wichert takes the glass and dies. Suspected are Johanna Reisch, who completed an unsuccessful coaching training at Becker, and Becker's missing son, who suddenly appears in his life. The investigators find out that Sven Wichert was commissioned by Becker as ghostwriter for his bestseller.
