High Society Murder - 1 ª Season

We'll have the synopsis for you soon.

The psychologist Dr. Wendelin Winter travels to Sweden with his pretty daughter Alexandra. Winter is scheduled to give a lecture on hunting at Lund University. In order to prepare, he has accepted the generous invitation of the wealthy shipyard and landowner Gunnar Larsson, who organizes a traditional moose hunt with friends and relatives. Meanwhile, Alexandra has joined the good-looking environmental activist Ole, who has organized an outdoor camp nearby. When the hunting party wants to leave the next day, Winter experiences a surprise: Determined animal rights activists, including Ole and his daughter Alexandra, want to prevent the moose hunt with a human chain. But the heathers have their means to keep annoying demonstrators at bay. As soon as they are on the prowl, the inexperienced winter loses touch with the hunting party. Wandering around alone, he hears a scream and finds a lifeless body on the forest floor. Then a blow hits him in the back of the head. When he comes to, the supposed corpse has disappeared without a trace. The next day, Larsson's friend and business partner Malte Hendriksson was found dead with a gunshot wound. Commissioner Svensson assumes a hunting accident. Winter is not so sure about that, however. The soul doctor has since found out that Larsson had a motive for murder: he knew about the relationship between his pretty wife Lisa and Hendriksson. Larsson's sister Helena, who was once shamefully abandoned by the womanizer Hendriksson, also had a motive. Helena's daughter Birge also had good reason to send Hendriksson to hell: the beautiful young woman has been in a wheelchair since a car accident in which Hendriksson was not innocent. The only thing that Winter isn't quite sure about is the grumpy estate manager Pelle.

Dr. Wendelin Winter visits daughter Alexandra's shared Hamburg student apartment. Shy, nerdy housemate Felix worries rightly when the third, music student Maike Südhoff, whom he adores despite being treated like a sweet baby brother, doesn't return from another nocturnal private cello recital, as her corpse is found by their dog on Wendelin's walks, dumped near the river Elbe. Maike's computer confirms Winter's suspicion: she paid for her studies as call-girl with exclusive escort-service "Bella Musica". One of the three 'sponsors' and regular clients is Senator (city state minister) for culture Konrad Niehaus, who found her skull-smashed in his hall after a wild night in his home attended by his playmates, judge Julius Arndt and jeweler Steven Reinbeck. While Niehaus is arrested as prime suspect, Arndt and Reinbeck are bloodily murdered. Commissioner Kliewer suspects Maike's recently jail-released brother Uwe Südhoff, but Winter looks into the madam and her surprise visitor: Clara Niehaus, whom her husband assumed on holiday in Sylt, actually in a Hamburg hotel and aware, yet supportive of his career. Alexandra finds an alarming clue in the laundry.

Delicatessen king and big spender-Casanova Hans-Georg Fischer floats dead in his pool, apparently with a fatal cocaine OD, actually laced with lethal rat poison strychnine. Dr. Wendelin Winter must assess unwilling fresh widow Witwe Regine's mental condition. Cynical hedonist Fischer openly cheated on his wife, who keeps the business floating, and was equally gross to latest mistress Ariane Jäger, who nearly bumped into Wendelin's car fleeing from the pool on the fatal day, and has a jealous ex, emergency doctor Dr. Lohmeyer. Vegetables grocer Karl Baumgartner hated Fischer and concocted with gay florist Bernd Zeisinger, who spoils his gorgeous but unfaithful assistant Nicky Huber with the proceeds of a toxic side business. Gutter reporter Jacki Gosser took pictures of the adulterer in action and wants the intern; Winter's daughter Alexandra, to elaborate the boulevard scandal. An attempt on Zeisinger's life helps Winter complete the puzzle of crimes.

Wendelin Winter worries as vindictive 'Madonna-murderer' Manfred Borchert, jailed after his psychiatric testimony, is reported escaped from psych ward. Winter's brat daughter Alexandra moves out unexpectedly to in Starnberg as independent reporter, researching well-reputed plastic surgeon professor Rheza Hamadin and his private clinic, attracting socialites, but questions about his two years missing wife Silvia's portrait make him retract permission to publish. Nearby is found the corpse of rich ex-patient Susanne Sachtleben. Alexandra prefers to father's 'meddling' help charming neighbor Stefan Kroninger, a publicity photographer. To Winter 's horror, Borchert informs him of the murder of another plastic surgery patient, heiress Eleonore Pfitzer, and points to womanizing yachting club-president Christian Hartlaub, her kept lover. Alexandra stumbles upon 'ghost' Silvia Hamadin, Borchert again cues Wendelin Winter.
