This is no coincidence as it was 30 years earlier when psychopathic inspector Wörmer almost killed Emma's parents who were saved by their friend Jens at the last minute. Her family has been haunted by this traumatic memory ever since. Her mother Kalinka committed suicide when Emma was ten and her father Martin remains a shadow of himself.

Upon meeting with Wörmer, Emma awakens him from his coma and unintentionally initiates a bloody revenge on all those who sealed Wörmer's destiny. As she delves deeper into her investigation, she discovers shocking details about the events that led up to her parents’ deaths.
It turns out that Wörmer had a long-standing feud with her father, who was once a respected detective. The two had a bitter rivalry that escalated after Emma’s birth, leading to a series of violent encounters between them. Wörmer believed that he had the upper hand and would eventually win the battle. However, fate had other plans as Emma’s mother was tragically murdered by Wörmer while trying to escape from him.
As Emma digs deeper into her parents’ past, she realizes that there are more secrets hidden than she initially thought. It becomes clear that Wörmer was driven by a twisted obsession that made him willing to kill anyone who stood in his way.

Emma’s journey to uncover the truth about her parents’ past leads her to confront Wörmer once again, but this time she is prepared for what lies ahead. With her determination and courage, she sets out to exact revenge on those responsible for her parents’ deaths.
The story continues as Emma fights against the forces that threaten to destroy her family and seeks justice for those who have suffered at the hands of Wörmer.
