Olaf Gabriel (), a bungling cop in the small and quiet Northern-German town of Hedly, is on his last day on the job and is preparing his camper van for his trip into retirement. While waiting for his successor so he can hand over the office, Olaf is instead visited by a female federal agent (). This federal agent tells him that a tough gangster (), who was sentenced six years earlier on Olaf's testimony for a botched bank robbery, is about to be released from prison that very same day; and that he may be heading to Hedly for revenge.
