Forest ranger Saskia discovers Franz Kofler, a lobbyist for a company that operates ski lifts, dead in a snow-covered car at the edge of the Oberwiesenthal forest. Koflerhad been tasked with persuading locals to support the development of a linked ski area. The project required the purchase of a woodland parcel owned by a man named Lieberwirth, who refused to sell. Inspectors Winkler and Szabo take over the investigation.
