Unter Feinden

Police officers Kessel and Driller are supposed to be on the lookout for an internationally wanted war criminal. But Kessel is a junkie, gets into a fight with a young dealer and runs the man over.

However, the two of them have a much bigger problem: the crime has made Kessel vulnerable to blackmail.

And at the moment, Kessel is in dire need of Diller's support: his daughter suffers from severe epilepsy, her treatment is expensive and his marriage is in danger of falling apart. But Kessel knows he can rely on Diller and he loves his wife. So he is sure that everything will be fine. And suddenly an opportunity arises to help fate along: With a bag full of drugs, which Kessel discovers in the car of the fugitive dealers. Kessel hesitates only briefly and then lets them go. But instead of solving his problems, this bag plunges him into new, far greater conflicts - and takes his partner Diller and his family with him.
