The King is dead: Erwin Machalik, owner of Berlin's biggest exterminator's company, is found dead on his pillow with a gun in his hand and a hole in his head. At first, only Inspector Carsten Lanner, visiting Berlin on training, doubts it's a suicide. The pest control boss left a cryptic video message, predicting a plague of rats. When poison-resistant rodents actually do start flooding the capital, Lanner sets out to solve the mystery with trainee Carola Rimschow and exterminator Toni Matthes. Based on the novel „Der König von Berlin" by Horst Evers. (Filmfest München)
