He was once obsessed by the need to prove that the treasure is for real and not just a myth. But in his search for the famous "Treasure of the Nibelungen", his beloved wife and best friend Albert lost their lives. Since then, this handsome man in his forties gave up his quest to live a quite and withdrawn life with his teenage daughter Krimi. Ten years later all this changes: A new lead unfolds and this time it may just be the right one. Once again Eik is part of the game. Together with the young and extrovert Justus, the sexy, highly intelligent and slightly high-strung scientist Katharina, he starts on a spectacular hunt across Europe.
