Nach dem Mord an einem griesgrämigen Kapitän im Ruhestand versucht seine Familie, den Fall diskret selbst zu lösen. Ein spannender Kriminalfilm, der zeigt, dass die Vergangenheit niemals wirklich begraben bleibt.

Heinrich Krogmann, a retired and rather unpleasant merchant marine captain, is found dead in his private pension. While initial signs point to murder, his family and his secretary attempt to cover up the incident to avoid a public scandal. However, as they try to track down the killer on their own, dark secrets from Krogmann’s past and his final voyage on the “San Diego” slowly come to light.
