- Her bodyguard dies in an assassination attempt on pop star Ira. Apparently a stalker is targeting the singer.
- The body of a drowned girl is found in the industrial port of Split. For Branka Maric there is no doubt that the twelve-year-old was the victim of a crime. Show traces on her wrist: The drowned woman was previously tied up - possibly by smugglers who kidnap girls and sell them to their tormentors. Branka doesn't give a damn about the instructions to leave the investigation to the organized crime department. Little did the Commissioner suspect how dangerous the case is for her when she went on to investigate on her own. During the night a bomb explodes on her lover Lado's yacht - with Branka on board. In order to solve the attack, the homicide squad receives unwelcome support from the capital: the successful, but unpopular detective Stascha Novak with her male colleagues. She wants to continue her track record with the spectacular case in order to force the overdue promotion in Zagreb. The division in Split, however, would like the case to be resolved by the domestic forces. Emil gets into a quandary: He and his colleague Borko should let Stascha run into the void.
- Inspector Stascha Novak is shocked when she discovers a familiar necklace on a cremated corpse. The head of the Split homicide squad believes her ex-fiancé Milan was the victim of a camouflaged murder. However, it soon becomes apparent that the dead person is someone else: Gore Memic from a notorious mafia clan in the capital Zagreb. Milan is now suspected of having faked his death in order to go into hiding. How close she is to the fleeting nightclub owner, Stascha conceals from her superior Kovacic as well as a violent argument with Memic the night before in Milan's club. She believed that in the bar guest she was seeing her younger sister Minka's rapist. Minka vehemently denies this and later even surprises with accusations against Milan. Was Stascha completely wrong about her great love? The commissioner now trusts her "ex" to do everything - from dirty business to violent crimes. In order to find him, she even incites the underworld boss Zlatan Memic on his neck, who wants to avenge his son. However, Stascha's plan to let the Mafia lead him to what he is looking for involves incalculable risks.
- Stascha Novak takes on a murder case in which she doesn't have to search long for a coherent motive. The victim, the abusive restaurant manager Ivan Kalinic, not only treated the Romanian waitress Adina badly, but also tried to rape her. The main suspect disappeared the morning after the bloody act. Her friend Danijel Vida and his buddy Tin, seasonal workers in Kalinic's team, also left headlong to their Dalmatian hometown Privonice. Stascha drives there with her colleague Emil to interrogate the two of them and trace the trace of Adina who has gone into hiding. Official assistance is provided by Danijel's father, who, as the local police chief, leads the search operation. However, Adina seems to have been swallowed by the earth. During her investigation, Stascha finds out that all traces of the case converge in Privonice - from the victim to the suspect to the other parties involved. The 70-year-old entrepreneur Dunja Runje plays a central role, is well connected with everyone and has her fingers in the game everywhere. She even seems to be making money from trafficking in young women, in which Adina is also involved. Stascha doesn't just want to find the suspect in order to solve the case. The commissioner fears for the lives of the suspects - and undertakes a daring solo effort.
- A half-decomposed corpse in a red dress poses a criminal mystery to inspector Stascha Novak and the investigative team from Split: The victim had been dead for at least a week when he was thrown from a great height from a rock. Not only the shattered body, but also the identity make the case seem unusual: it is a young man. For the local police chief Mikec it is clear that this could not have been a local. There are hardly any young people here anyway and certainly not transvestites. However, the homicide detective finds out that the dead Anton is from the region and grew up with his devout uncle Ivan Rukovic. In his house, the investigators find signs of Anton's decomposition. When the bodies of Mikec and Rukovic are found one after the other, Stascha begins to reconstruct Anton's tragic story with criminal empathy. She finds it difficult to contain her anger at open homophobia and pious fundamentalism. Her colleague Emil, on the other hand, keeps a cool head, delving into the family history of the victims and having to prevent Stascha from making a hasty decision.
- Inspector Stascha Novak doesn't want to have anything more to do with her sister. What Minka did to her is unforgivable. Even at her father Branko's birthday party in a small circle with cousin Luka, the deeply disappointed Stascha avoids a conversation. When Luka's body is found the next morning - badly injured with a knife and suffocated - the inspector even counts her younger sister among the suspects: Because Minka lies in her statement and evades when Stascha wants to confront her. Although her colleague Emil Perica takes over the investigation, Stascha continues on her own, despite her bias. Going it alone, the homicide detective gets into a dangerous situation with a criminal. He actually traveled to Split to meet Luca. But now he seems to be looking for something particularly valuable. Meanwhile, Emil and Borko find out that Stascha's unloved cousin is already on record for a number of unsolved crimes - from diamond robbery to rape charges. Although this revelation could break her father's heart, the investigator is undeterred in her search for the truth.
- In die wildromantische Prärielandschaft Dalmatiens führt der 13. "Kroatien-Krimi": Was mit einem mysteriösen Todesfall beginnt, führt zu einem erbitterten Familienkonflikt. Als eingespieltes Ermittlerduo tauchen Jasmin Gerat und Lenn Kudrjawizki in "Der Todesritt" in eine antiquierte Ordnung ein, um einem Geheimnis aus der Vergangenheit auf den Grund zu gehen. Tatortkommissarin Karin Hanczewski schlüpft in die Rolle einer Heimkehrerin, die sich erneut mit überkommenen Rollenbildern auseinandersetzen muss. Regisseur Michael Kreindl verfilmte das Drehbuch von Ulf Tschauder, das falsche Fährten und überraschende Wendungen bietet. Sein Filmdebüt gibt Lenn Kudrjawizkis Sohn Lior als Schlüsselzeuge der Ermittlungen. Um Abschied von ihrem verstorbenen Vater zu nehmen, kehrt die in England lebende Ana Kaleb mit ihrem 13-jährigen Sohn Denis auf die Pferderanch ihrer Familie zurück. Das erste Wiedersehen nach neun Jahren führt jedoch zu einem Streit. Wutentbrannt nimmt Anas Ex-Mann Vinko ohne ihr Wissen den Jungen zu einem nächtlichen Ausritt mit. Als die beiden in der Dunkelheit der Steppe verschwinden, fallen Schüsse. Vinko wird tödlich in die Stirn getroffen. Kommissarin Stascha Nowak und ihr Kollege Emil tun sich schwer, die Spuren am Tatort zu deuten. Auch die verzerrten Erinnerungen von Denis bieten kaum Anhaltspunkte. Stascha spürt von Beginn an, dass es zwischen Ana, ihrer Mutter und ihrem Bruder Niksa tief sitzende Spannungen gibt. Als die Leiterin der Mordkommission sich dafür interessiert, warum die erfolgreiche Tierärztin hier alles hinter sich gelassen hat, stößt sie auf verstörende Zusammenhänge. So kommt Stascha weiteren Verbrechen auf die Spur.
- The fact that her colleague Borko left the office unusually early and shortly afterwards witnessed an assassination attempt did not initially attract much attention from chief investigator Stascha Nowak. The victim, shady investment banker Rogur, was blown up in the car with a hand grenade. While the Split homicide squad begins its work, police chief Kovacic already knows where to toast Rogur's death: at a secret regulars' table of war veterans, to which Borko also belongs. What Kovacic knows about the victim, however, he keeps to himself. When Stascha interviews the murdered man's wife, she has an intuitive suspicion. Her colleague Emil is also surprised at the contradictions in the widow's descriptions. However, Stascha soon becomes more interested in Rogur's unpunished deeds during his time as a naval officer in the Yugoslav war. Although Kovacic and Borko are reluctant, Stascha and Emil delve into the past. Anyone who lost someone back then could be a perpetrator today.
- The guests of a restaurant on Split's beach promenade experience a dramatic appearance: 20-year-old Leyla claims to be pregnant by her partner Jure in front of the speechless landlady Nika. Shortly afterwards the young woman is found dead. Not only the knife stabs, but also the brutal cutting off of the ring finger remind Inspector Stascha Novak and her colleague Emil Perica of an earlier case. The perpetrator at the time also has a connection to those involved today: Ivo is Nika's ex-husband - and was convicted at the time because of Jure's incriminating statement. Is the current murderer an imitator of the "Beast of Zadar"? Or, as Ivo's friend and lawyer Markovic claims, has the wrong person been behind bars for years? While Jure suddenly disappeared without a trace, Nika comes under increasing suspicion. When Stascha questions her previous assumptions, the chief investigator realizes that she herself is part of a sophisticated plan.
- A motor yacht crashes into the pebble beach of Split. On board are the unconscious skipper Mile and two women's corpses. The fact that the victims were shot more than 48 hours ago makes the incident even more puzzling for Inspector Stascha Novak and her colleague Emil. After waking up in the hospital, Mile pretends not to remember anything. Suddenly his father Zelic appears, introducing himself as the police chief of the Adriatic island of Brac. He wants to take his son and the bodies with him - and keep the homicide squad out of it. The unknown victims are refugees who may have worked for a winemaker under slave-like conditions. Is Zelic - as his son and his girlfriend Danka claim - really in cahoots with traffickers and exploiters? Investigating this is not part of Stascha and her colleagues' tasks. In order to solve the murders, they have to find out who is behind the brutal smuggling network on Brac.
- In his luxury summer house, the Split police finds the corpse of sex symbol Goran Trevic, son adulated football legend Dragan Trevic, now a leading league official, and to the brass's horror a logical suspect as the murder weapon stems from his private vault. Branka Maric finds more family troubles. Dragan is also pointed at by his authorized biographer, sports reporter Stipe Rif. Dragan Trevic is shot in the head in his car, apparently suicide. Police chief Bilic orders the case closed, to avoid further scandal, but Branka's team informally searches on in both cases, calling in markers with forensics. Goran's widow, Jasna Trevic, hides her affair and his heavy, chemically emasculating medication without health need.
- Bachelor commissioner Emil Perica expected to be promoted chief detective of the Split police, but against their better judgment the chief gives the job to half-German Branka Maric. Their next case is the apparent robbery-murder of Ante Remic, who beached up in Split port after gambling way his meager family savings. The investigation focuses on his post-Yugoslavian civil war past as CO of a Croatian dependence fighters band after someone breaks into his home and steals all war memorabilia. The murder soon after of a war comrade apparently leaves only present real estate tycoon Jerko Novak, who suggests it's all about Remic's alleged war crime as sadistic "devil of Split", the other two being missing or died in action. One was Branka's sibling, whom she and her surviving brother assumed died in action years earlier, now being told he fell days before the end of the war. After Emil and colleague Borko trap a junkie who confesses Ante's fatal robbery, the team suspects that was a staged diversion, and goes after an alternative, financial motive. That proves dangerous, luring the killer into action, but also awakes surprise help.
- On the holiday island of Vis, Branka Mari is investigating a double murder: the criminal shot dead an antiques dealer and a collector. Both were lured to the island from Split to buy lost commemorative coins from the time of the Ustasha regime. The investigations by local police chief Jure Pokovic and statements by a witness incriminate a man who was in contact with the victims: Zoran Horvath, a self-confessed nationalist. When he arrives on Vis as ordered and visits the hotel of Pokovic's 22-year-old daughter Ivena, the policeman wants to close the case in his own way. At the last second, however, Branka throws a spanner in the works. She has long since noticed that someone is setting the wrong tracks. The detective finds out that the hunt for the coins isn't the only thing that connects the two dead people and the suspects: the three of them have been to Vis before - more than 20 years ago during the civil war. At that time, an atrocity must have happened that someone now wants to atone for. When Branka uncovers the terrible secret, she faces a difficult decision.
