Altes Geld

Storyline

Rolf Rauchensteiner, who knows neither love nor fidelity. is the leader of an industrial empire and diagnosed with several types of Hepatitis, meaning he'll die in a year if he doesn't get a new liver. Being a billionaire, getting a new liver shouldn't be all that difficult, but Rolf gets a few nasty surprises: when you're in the spotlight, organs are hard to get illegally when you need legal surgery afterwards, and getting a liver legally means every agency involved tries to blackmail Rolf out of all sorts of favors, if they don't sabotage him outright. Disgusted, Rolf presents his chosen solution to his family: the one who provides him with the liver he so desperately needs, will be the sole heir to his empire. As the Rauchensteiners aren't exactly a family overflowing with empathy, this announcement is at first greeted with scoffs and sarcasm by Rolf's children, and open dismay by his current wife. But soon the race is on, especially when Rolf falls ill faster than expected. And things get a lot dicier when friends, in-laws, business partners, crooked scientists, politicians and gangsters (both foreign and local) try to shift the odds in favor of their chosen champions. Saga of incest, corruption and gloves made of human skin. He is blackmailing his son, his brother is sleeping with his sister, his mother is with almost everyone and has plans for killing.
