What happens in Mindful murder?

Björn Diemel (Schilling) is a hard-working defender who spends his days and nights protecting Germany's biggest scumbags. He's well paid and lives comfortably – when he's not working, which is rarely the case. Björn narrowly missed his daughter's fourth birthday party and his wife Katharina (Cox) is upset. She recommends he enroll in a mindfulness course so he can figure out how to better prioritize time with his only daughter. And the class goes well…for a while. Soon, Björn's toxic client – ​​a mafia boss named Dragan (Geršak) – convinces him to do another dirty job. Dragan has inadvertently started a turf war with a rival cartel by killing one of their drug runners. However, Björn has had enough of cleaning up Dragan's mess. When he unintentionally commits murder, making him a major target for the criminal underworld, he uses his new meditative skills to go on a killing spree to maintain his work-life balance.
