Law students Jens and Martin engage in a game of dangerous challenges. Martin works the night shift as watchman in a hospital morgue and encounters a lone wolf policeman bent on solving a serial murder case involving prostitutes. Keeping up the challenge game, the students are soon in over their heads, and Martin even finds himself becoming the policeman's prime suspect.
