- When a mutilated woman's body is found floating in a runaway boat on the Black Sea near Odessa, the investigating detective Serhij is faced with a mystery: the woman's throat has been slit and her right arm has been carefully severed. The bizarre case does not follow the usual pattern of local criminals. Nevertheless, Serhij forces his informant Scorpio to keep his eyes and ears open. Meanwhile, in Warsaw, a masked man rams into a couple's car, threatens them and disappears in the dark. Inspector Maria takes over the case and finds a woman's neatly severed arm in the boot of the car. The car was stolen from Witold Patryk Bronisz, who himself fell into the hands of a kidnapper. Witold's marriage to Wanda appears to be in crisis and he regularly has affairs with younger female employees. A woman's severed arm is also found in a theatre in Prague. Major Viktor Seifert, who is about to retire, is in charge of the investigation. He knows that his work on the case can only really begin when the mutilated body is found. Viktor spends the night with his partner, the lawyer Daniela, but he can't really switch off. Maria and her team have their first success: they recognize a minivan with Czech registration plates in the vehicle of Witold's kidnapper. The van is soon located, but after a chase on the motorway, the driver flees and is run over by a lorry. In the boot, Maria finds the body of a young woman whose right arm has been severed.
- In Odessa, Serhij finds the spot where the unknown woman was killed and the boat with her body was lowered into the water. The perpetrators burnt the woman's clothes on the shore, leaving only the heel of one shoe. Maria assumes that the severed arm belongs to the woman's body, which was in the boot of the van. However, she still considers Bronisz a suspect, who never tires of proclaiming his innocence. Behind the wheel of the stolen Czech van was a petty thief who discovered the gruesome cargo and fled in panic from the police to his death. Alerted to the connection between the cases in Prague and Warsaw, Viktor seeks out the owner of the van, Vrabec. The transport company had lent the van found in Poland to the model Vera Vitova. Vrabec uses a photo of the dead woman to confirm her identity. At the same time, another severed arm is found in the cold store of a restaurant in Odessa. Once again, Serhij has to contend with difficult conditions: employees and temporary staff had access to the cold room at all times. Serhij puts pressure on his informant Skorpion, but the latter is afraid of offending the local mafia. Meanwhile, Maria is under internal investigation: she shot up a surveillance camera before a drug dealer was killed by a shot from her gun. While Bronisz almost strangles his lover Edyta during sex in Warsaw, Serhij is faced with another hideous spectacle in Odessa: he finds the head of his informant Scorpio draped on the roof of a carriage.
- Serhij's superior Jefremow thinks it could be a serial killer, but Serhij is of a different opinion, perhaps also because his mother was killed by a serial killer. And his suspicion that local oligarchs are behind it seems to be confirmed by the fact that their lawyer Czerniawski was attacked in the carriage. Meanwhile, Maria and Viktor receive information about Vera Vitova in Prague. Lida Beyerova, her only friend, is also untraceable. The agency that represented the two models and the Austrian photographer Anton Fried are of little help. However, Vrabec's connections in the higher circles of society are suspicious: not only is he in contact with the businessman Sova; as a former bodyguard to the then Minister Matousek, Vrabec surprisingly quickly became part of a flourishing transport company. Vera's mobile phone data draws the investigators' attention to a wooded area outside Warsaw and a luxurious villa in Prague. In Warsaw, Bronisz's lover Edyta turns to the police: during consensual sex, he strangled her so badly that she feared for her life. Edyta not only knows about the disappearance of his former affair Andzelika Musial, she also reports his ex-lover Beata Wieczorek missing. While Viktor spends the night with his girlfriend Daniela and Maria flirts with photographer Anton as well as his camera, Serhij visits investigative journalist Julia. The two exchange physical closeness for professional information. But Serhij doesn't want to talk about the dismembered woman's body. When he leaves Julia's flat, he is brutally beaten and dragged away.
- Serheï succeeds in identifying the victim from the canoe thanks to his ring, which a hotel employee recognizes.
- According to Sova's widow, her husband had forged new business relationships in Ukraine which seemed to frighten her.
- After the haulage contractor Zdenek Vrabec, who was involved in the series of murders, dies in a firefight with the police, Viktor has lost his last witness. Now he and his colleagues are faced with three mysterious murders and are unable to interpret the signs of the perpetrator or perpetrators. For the time being, Viktor has to limit himself to observing the arms dealer Kiryl Matwiejenko in Odessa together with his Ukrainian colleagues Serhij and Bohdan. Viktor's girlfriend Daniela Hegerova, on the other hand, who has just been promoted to senior public prosecutor, is put under massive pressure by her superior Kohout to obtain confidential police information about the murder of businessman Milan Sova from Viktor and pass it on to him. In Masuria, Maria and her partner Jozef break the news of her daughter's violent death to Bozena Kaczmarek's mother and question her uncle, who had provided her with odd jobs in show business through his event agency. She was also registered with a modeling agency. For Maria, the parallels in the victims' biographies are striking: the young women wanted to escape the confines of their environment and dreamed of a life of glitz and glamour. Surprisingly, Viktor's colleague Ota finally has a success: He catches a young burglar who had gained access to the villa of Milan Sova's company.
- In Warsaw, Inspector Maria Sokolowska pays a visit to the flatmate of the murdered Bozena Kaczmarek. Bozena and Wandzia knew each other from the low-budget porn scene, but had recently lost contact. Visibly shaken by the news of Bozena's death, Wandzia contacts film producer Zygmund Bednarek, known in the industry only as "Gianni", shortly afterwards. Maria's colleague Marek observes how he introduces the young woman to a man in the lobby of a luxury hotel on the same day, and she goes with him. Maria and Marek assume that Gianni was in contact with all the missing women, which makes him highly suspicious. Meanwhile, in Prague, a couple of lovers have discovered a mutilated female corpse on the roof of the funicular railway. Major Viktor Seifert soon has confirmation that this woman - a young Ukrainian woman named Olena Sakowicz - owns the arm that was discovered in a theatre some time earlier. He is also convinced that none other than the former Minister of Justice Jiri Matousek sent a burglar to the villa of the murdered businessman Milan Sova, who had suspicious contacts in Ukraine. It is there that Serhij Franko wants to get to the bottom of the machinations of oligarch Kiryl Matwiejenko. He secretly infiltrates his yacht in Odessa harbor when the arms dealer arrives with a surprise escort .
- Inspector Maria Sokolowska again questions the Bronisz couple, in whose car the body of Czech Vera Vitova was found. Surprisingly, it turns out that Wanda Bronisz had an affair with Olena Sakowicz from Odessa. Her husband Witold had previously been suspected in several cases of sexual offenses. Shortly afterwards, someone also tampers with the flat of the missing Beata Wieczorek, but he hasn't reckoned with her neighbor ... Meanwhile, Wandzia, the former flatmate of the third murder victim Bozena Kaczmarek, is questioned by the police, but she reveals little out of fear. Is she afraid of Zygmund Bednarek, alias Gianni, the film producer with excellent contacts in the milieu? Then Maria receives a message from Prague: the missing Czech woman Lida Beyerova has been in contact with her mother on her mobile phone - from the very place Gianni went to the day before after his meeting with Wandzia. Without further ado, Maria, Jozef and Marek storm the house where he is staying without a search warrant and find him in an explicit situation with Lida. She claims to be being held against her will, giving Maria and her colleagues cause to take Gianni into custody. Prague investigator Viktor Seifert learns during the interrogation of a young man who was supposed to be searching for cameras and recording devices in a luxury villa that he is the illegitimate son of former Minister of Justice Jiri Matousek. Matousek denies all accusations, but the evidence that he had contacts with criminals is mounting. He even makes preparations to go abroad.
- Maria Sokolowska, who accompanied the witness Lida Beyerova to Prague, receives the news that she has been suspended from duty with immediate effect. Officially because her subordinate Marek has slipped into drug-related crime - but the secret service actually has a hand in this. With the arrest of V-man Zygmund Bednarek, alias Gianni, which she carried out on her own initiative, she has brought powerful enemies onto the scene who have long been looking for a way to get rid of the inconvenient inspector. Her departure threatens the progress of the investigation at a critical stage, but thanks to a clever idea this can be averted just in time: Maria is quickly offered a contract as a consultant for the Czech police by Viktor's superior. Maria, Viktor and Serhij have to work hard, because neither the corrupt ex-minister Jiri Matousek nor the money launderer Gianni, as criminal as they may be, can be directly linked to the three murders of women. Even the sex-crazed insurance man Witold Bronisz, who is responsible for the deaths of two other women, denies any guilt in the matter. Meanwhile, in the Brandenburg province, Serhij visits the military doctor Lev Zamiatin, a former comrade of his father. He tells him about a former educator at the local children's home who was murdered and mutilated years earlier in the same way as the three women.
