- In an abandoned factory building, cosmetic surgeon Beat Gessner came across the corpse of his son Max, wrapped as if in a cocoon. Tessa Ott and Isabelle Grandjean discovered that the corpse not only had tattoos on the face, but also on the cornea of the eyes. The shocked father reports that he has not had any contact with his son for a long time. Initial investigations lead the inspectors to a sectarian artists' commune. This is led by the charismatic Kyomi. Her "disciples" are exactly like the deceased Max: shaved head, tattoos on the face and cornea - an incredibly painful process. A second trail leads via Kyomi to the gallery owner Bruno Escher. He markets Kyomi's art and could capitalize on Max's death. Would Escher go that far? While Isabelle puts the unscrupulous gallerist through the wringer, Tessa deals with Kyomi's way of thinking and working: like art objects, her followers should wear the pain of her past on their skin and reflect it in their eyes. Did this philosophy lead to Max's death as the ultima ratio of the mind game? Isabelle Grandjean observes Tessa Ott's apparent fascination with Kyomi with great concern: does her colleague run the risk of being exploited by the artist? Is the bright-eyed Kyomi trying to play cat and mouse with the police herself? Or did Beat Gessner not tell the whole truth?
- Top lawyer Corinne Perrault knows no mercy when her clients' interests are at stake. One morning she floats dead in Lake Zurich. What appears to be a suicide turns out to be an insidious murder. As a lawyer for the law firm Clement and Widmer, she represented the up-and-coming pharmaceutical company Argon. Allegedly, their drug Volmelia caused devastating damage during the test phase - for example with Klara Canetti. The girl is in a wheelchair because of a rare disease. After taking Volmelia, Klara's condition has now worsened. Now her mother has sued Argon. There is a lot at stake for the group, because the outrageously expensive drug is about to be approved. In the event of a ban, the company with its shooting star Dr. Regula Arnold misses many millions, which makes the pharmaceutical woman the main suspect in the murder of Corinne Perrault, especially in the eyes of Tessa. Perrault's death causes dismay in the firm. The noble company loses a qualified colleague. For lawyer Matteo Riva, Corinne was more than that, and boss Martina Widmer also had a lot in common with the dead. But Isabelle and Tessa do not trust the demonstrative dismay of the two. Then the commissioners find out that Corinne had given up the Volmelia mandate and was on sick leave for a longer period of time. The investigators are still pursuing a third lead - mainly at the instigation of Isabell. In her eyes, Klara's mother Dorit has a double motive for murder. The hatred of Corinne Perrault, who aggressively attacked her daughter in a survey, as well as the prospect of high financial compensation. Isabelle tries to gain Klara's trust. Then Klara collapses while being questioned by her and has to be put into an artificial coma. Isabelle blames herself because she feels guilty about Klara's condition. In addition, the girl is missing an important witness who could shed light on the death of Corinne Perrault.
