When a gruesomely staged body is found at the German-Austrian border, two detectives investigate. As the ritual-like murders continue, they enter the killer’s sinister world, set in the Alpine wilderness.
Two detectives, Ellie and Gedeon, are tasked with investigating a dead body in the Alps. As they dig deeper, they uncover shocking clues connected to pagan rituals and local customs.
In the snowy mountains, on a boundary stone between Germany and Austria, lies a strangely staged corpse. Both countries send investigators: the young Ellie Stocker from Berchtesgaden and Gedeon Winter from the Salzburg Kripo. Highly motivated, Stocker takes on her first big case, while Winter, a disillusioned cynic, would prefer to shift the investigation entirely to his German colleague. Interpersonal tensions are inevitable but the two must cooperate because there are more murders and they bear the same signature. It quickly becomes clear that a serial killer is at work. After the description of a surviving victim, a phantom drawing of the perpetrator is created. It shows the devilish grimace of a Krampus, one of those fearsome companions of Saint Nicholas who punish naughty children. Could the killer be on a mission?
3 Seasons
A frozen body is found on the boundary stone right on the Austro-German border, as if propped up for some pagan ritual. Shortly after the disparate investigation duo, police inspector Gedeon Winter from Austria and commissioner Ellie Stocker from Germany, have joined up on the case. The killer has sent audio messages to the press. The unsettling recording from the victim taken before her death, as well as intricate elements of the crime, make the investigators suspect this murder is merely the beginning of a greater scheme.
