Episode synopsis

The sea rescuers from Warnemünde are alerted: A man has collapsed on his sailing yacht. For sea rescue doctor Christine Rose, this is her first mission, and the situation is critical. A daring maneuver by the rescuers is necessary to even reach the yacht and bring the doctor safely on board. There, it quickly becomes clear that the man's condition is critical. Initially, everything points to a heart attack, but Christine has another suspicion – a hunch that could mean the difference between the patient's life and death.
