Rushing through the city every day with hundreds of packages in the delivery van - in the run-up to Christmas it's pure stress for Milan Strasser. And anyone traveling for Sybille Jäger's shipping company should also wear a Santa Claus costume. As Milan is about to take packages out of the hold on his tour, a masked figure suddenly confronts him and threatens him with a knife. The young father of a family is murdered in the middle of a residential area. When Ballauf and Schenk arrive at the crime scene, almost all of the packages have been searched and emptied. Do you have to investigate a robbery-murder?
