Polizeiruf 110: Seine Familie kann man sich nicht aussuchen

ÖZET

A single mother and her son are found dead in a family home. She was murdered with multiple stabs. Her son, who was paralyzed from the neck down, died of a stroke because nobody could change his IV fluid. A death in complete solitude. Katrin König investigates Jens Sommer, the ex-husband and father, and the Genth family, who were good friends with the Sommers. Do Jule and Holger Genth have anything to do with the death of the summers - or their foster children Emma and Max? When Max suddenly disappears and the suspicion against him is confirmed, Katrin König joins the search. In doing so, she acts against the explicit instructions of her superior, who himself had received clear instructions from "above": The Rostock team should keep away from foster child Max, since the boy lives with a concealed identity. In order to ensure that, inspector Melly Böwe travels from Bochum - who has a close connection to Max, as it turns out. And then Katrin König is also offered the position of team leader, which has been vacant since Commissioner Bukow left.
