Die blaue Blume

When her beloved husband Paul falls into a coma after a car accident, Commissioner Ellen Lucas ( Ulrike Kriener ) decides without further ado to leave her adopted home in Cologne and move to Regensburg. In the special clinic for coma patients there, she hopes for Paul's quick recovery.
In her professional life, she has no time to breathe deeply: in Regensburg the body of five-year-old Maria is found, who fell victim to a crime. The inhabitants of the idyllic small town are upset. Uncompromisingly and with sensitivity, Ellen Lucas goes to work to reconstruct the crime, often against the resistance of her new colleagues. The only thing she can rely on 100% in this extreme situation is Commissioner candidate Stefan Deuter ( Thure Riefenstein ). Contradictory statements by family members and dubious alibiversions also make it difficult to find the real perpetrator. Within the police apparatus, you are particularly concerned about the rivalry with your colleague Boris Noethen ( Michael Roll ), who sees the new as an intruder who could screw up his career advancement. When the supervisor Klaus Buddlick ( Arnulf Schuhmacher ) dies, the competitive relationship gains sharpness. Then comes another terrifying message: Little Ina is reported missing by her mother, and at the scene there is another blue flower that appears as a kind of business card for the perpetrator. The pressure on the investigators is growing, the fear that a serial perpetrator is at work can no longer be ruled out.
