In 1662, the Alpine hangman Jakob Kuisl receives a summons from his sister in Regensburg, only to discover her throat has been slit and he has become the prime suspect. Faced with the same cruelty he has inflicted for years, Jakob must confront the injustice. Joined by his daughter Magdalena and a young medicus named Simon, the trio taps into an underground network of beggars, a beer‑brewing monk, and an Italian playboy. Together they uncover that the false accusation is part of a larger plot that threatens the stability of the German Empire.
