Oliver Bartels and Enrico Schotte are two scoundrels who do shady jobs for the owner of a concrete factory Bodo Schramm. This time they are supposed to deliver a package of cocaine. Oliver messes up the job: not only does he come back empty-handed, but also "found" two hostages. The situation increasingly turns into a disaster for all involved.
Ella Blumberg, one of the hostages, tries to influence the course of events while Bodo is running out of time. This is also made more than clear to him by Wilhelm Hibou, the shady kingpin and buyer of the package. Because of Bodo's "direct approach" to solving the situation, Ella now also reacts differently to Oliver and Enrico's attempts to find a work-around. It comes as it must; the inability to work as a team creates a fatal result.
