Germany in the near future. After the collapse of the EU the country is heavily stricken. The social security systems have collapsed, a large part of the population is sinking into poverty. Alex (Ken Duken), a special investigator of the police, and his partner Sophie (Dagny Dewath) scrutinize the top manager of the DNB Bank, Rainer van Kampen (Thomas Thieme), whose speculations have ruined thousands of small investors. Despite overwhelming evidence no action is taken against him because van Kampen's political connections are too powerful. Furthermore Alex's sister is in despair because of an imminent forced eviction and she commits suicide. Alex just sees one way to stop the practices of the bank: He must become a criminal himself. Still working as a policeman he robs the branch offices of the DNB Bank together with other criminals he could win for his case, and distributes the money amongst the poor. Mercenaries of the bank are on the hunt for him, his colleague Sophie, too, is close on his heels. She does not suspect anything about Alex's double life – until he has to make the decision to reveal his true identity for his beliefs.
