Vigilante Crime

Gerächt ist gerecht. Amtsrichter Siggi Buckmann hat sich geschworen, für Gerechtigkeit einzustehen – notfalls nach Feierabend. Als sein einstiger Mentor tot in einem Waldstück aufgefunden wird, macht er sich auf die Suche nach den Schuldigen. Schneller als gedacht, handelt er sich dabei Ärger mit einer dubiosen Immobilienfirma, der russischen Mafia und dem Sohn des Ministerpräsidenten ein. Die einzige Verbündete gegen seine neuen Feinde ist die kluge Journalistin Robin Bukowsky. Aber kann er ihr wirklich trauen? Vieles scheint dagegen zu sprechen.
