When detective inspector Michael Sanders answers his cell phone during his jog, he would never have guessed what he would hear.

Six newborn babies have been kidnapped from a hospital in the tranquil Saarland - including the little nephew of Minister Otto Gregor Weinmann. The babies would only be released for a ransom of twelve million euros. If the kidnappers' demands are not met, one baby after another will die. What follows is a wild chase after the kidnappers through Germany, France and finally even Spain. Who is behind the kidnapping and will Michael Sanders and his colleagues succeed in saving all the babies from certain death?
