Gerhard Harrer, the famous senior surgeon of the transplantation centre, is an alcoholic. He cannot hide this problem indefinitely from the new and dedicated anaesthetist, Dr. Katrin Klein. She admires Harrer's work but will not let sleeping dogs lie and tries to convince him to follow up a therapy. This attitude earns her criticism from her colleagues who are worried about the clinic's reputation and cover up for their boss. Even assistent doctor Marco Schöne, who is involved with Katrin, refuses to support her initiative. As it becomes impossible to suppress the truth any longer, Professor Harrer is forced to leave. Katrin, whose only intention had been to help, must realize that she has destroyed Harrer's existence. She starts taking care of the now lonely colleague. - At last the assistent medical director Radke can seize the opportunity - he is promoted to senior surgeon. Shortly after he has settled into his new position, he is put to a severe test at gunpoint by a patient's husband who wants to make sure that his dangerously ill wife receives the newly-arrived donor's kidney....
