Der Auftrag

The Assignment follows the unlikely but exciting destiny of Maxim, an actor used to play cops in different low-budget TV shows.

After a violent accident, he wakes up in a hospital to discover he’s been mistaken for a real cop. On his first day at the new job, he accidentally solves a crime case, and from now on he has a reputation of a great cop… But the mafia won’t forget about him!
