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.
