Plot

Long-distance bus driver Beni Gisler sees the man on the bridge, but there is nothing he can do. The body hits the windshield and is thrown away. In his previous life, Gisler was a train driver and was involved in suicides several times. The latest incident therefore brings back traumatic memories. Inspector Flückiger knows Gisler from his time in the military. Supported by the psychologist responsible for the care team, he takes Gisler under his wing. It soon turns out that the dead man had a high dose of benzodiazepine in his blood. Under these circumstances, it would have been impossible for him to throw himself off the bridge alone. The identity of the possible victim also raises questions. Inspector Flückiger and colleague Liz Ritschard begin to investigate. Establishing the victim's true identity turns out to be the first challenge. One lead leads them to the construction industry. The former boss of a now successful construction company bears similarities to the victim. However, he is said to have died 13 years ago. What do his widow and son have to hide? At the same time as the investigation, Flückiger struggles with his personal connection to the case. The fate of his comrade Gisler haunts him. Gisler struggles with severe stress disorders and aggressive outbursts. Despite the therapeutic help of the psychologist, he vows to personally bring the perpetrator to justice.—ADR Das Erste
