A skinhead attack on a Turkish schoolboy links four protagonists: Dannaks promoted to Oberkommissar leaves Drugs to join Soko REX a small unit that deals with racism and extremism. The unit is often seconded to assist Homicide most recently because a serial killer is on the loose in Hamburg hanging right-wingers. But helping Homicide takes a backseat as Dannaks comes terms with his new duties and gets embroiled in a private police-corruption investigation. Craig a British reporter writing about racism in Germany uses the schoolboy attack to exacerbate tensions between Left and Right. Cenk a Turkish youth joins a gang with the noble idea of protecting the community against such attacks. But the gang takes on a life of its own. Karsten a celebrated neo-Nazi finds himself at a crossroads. As leader of the 211ers he is like a weary gunslinger forced to continually satisfy his minions' banal need for action.
