A man enters the apartment of a young woman in an apartment building while she is sleeping. He looks through her linen closet, after which he stuns the young woman.

The young policewoman Petra Degenhardt (Picco von Grote) has the feeling she is being watched and confides in Nina Petersen (Katharina Wackernagel). Petra tells her friend Maren Leiser (Judith Neumann) that she has experienced something similar.

Nina wants to investigate, even though no crime has been committed yet. She turns to her new boss Caroline Seibert (Therese Hämer). 
But before Nina can even begin, she and Karl Hidde (Alexander Held) are called to a corpse discovery in the Prerower Bodden. The dead woman is not Maren Leiser but Sonja Richter (Lynn Hertzner), also a student at the University of Stralsund.
In the apartment of the murdered student, traces are found that indicate that the perpetrator had taken Sonja under his control.
An act of a relationship? The detectives confront the victim’s boyfriend. A certain Fink (Rick Okon), who also studies at the university. Shocked by the crime, he too confirms that his girlfriend felt persecuted. 
Is there a connection between the murder and the other women who have felt watched by a “phantom” for months?
