He flees with Jola, but their car is sabotaged by an outside hacker and they have an accident. Max wakes up in the hospital – no sign of Jola. Has she been kidnapped? Who are his mysterious pursuers? And who or what is Joshua? Max has to go to the limit to uncover the conspiracy. Only with the help of courier driver Frida Blum, his lawyer Christoph "Topher" Marx and his crazy brother Cosmo will he be able to rescue his daughter …
