About the story
The world-famous double bass player Dimitri Sachow escapes from prison one morning. His career path is unusual: from child prodigy to serial murderer.
A melody is Inspector Schrenk's first point of reference. In order to prevent further murders by the psychopathic virtuoso, Schrenk enters into a strange musical world.
