Wilsberg finds his usual Christmas dinner party, all reported 'unavailable', involuntarily reunited. Ekki's ski invitation with study friends falls trough due to canceled train and stolen equipment. Host-cook Anna faked illness, but witnesses a bank robbery and calls Overbeck in too. Wilsberg accepts on Christmas Eve to seek Johannes, the missing boyfriend of high-pregnant Marie. Alex proudly accepted a first invitation to the prestige home party of judge Hartmut Rudolph but his equally adulterous wife Franziska is missing, allegedly kidnapped by clumsy ex-con Philipp Stern, who becomes her lover. Wilsberg and bunch must tie it all together to make sense of each case.
