CONTENTS
The top lawyer Corinne Perrault (Sabine Timoteo) is considered ruthless in her profession; she is fully committed to the interests of her clients. One day she floats lifeless in Lake Zurich. What at first seems like suicide quickly turns out to be murder. The suspect is the pharmaceutical entrepreneur Dr. Regula Arnold (Laura de Weck) in focus. With her company Argon, she developed the drug Volmelia, which caused devastating damage to some test subjects during the test phase. This is also the case with Klara Canetti (Anouk Petri). The girl is in a wheelchair because of an extremely rare disease. After taking Volmelia, she felt even worse than before, which is why Klara's mother sued the pharmaceutical company. The investigators Isabelle Grandjean (Anna Pieri Zuercher) and Tessa Ott (Carol Schuler) discover that Perrault had given the mandate for Volmelia two weeks before her death and had already been on sick leave for a long time...
