Strähl —a Zurich drug agent— hides his loneliness and his yearning for love behind fits of rage, amphetamines and shouting fits until his choleric temperament finally becomes his undoing: as he’s conducting a house search, a fixer jumps out of the window. Strähl is suspended. And that’s just the start of his problems. Suddenly Strähl finds himself at the mercy of two fixers: the soccer fanatic René and his girlfriend Carol could exonerate him with their testimony. But Strähl’s attempts to persuade them fail in face of Carol’s stubbornness. In desperation, he ends up raiding the small-time dealer Beko and stealing from his stash of heroin to get René and Carol to relent. This sets off a chain of events that brings the big catch within reach...
