As he stumbles upon some hidden secrets, he slowly builds his reputation as a private investigator. Siggi starts taking on cases which he solves with the help of film buff Anton and the sandwich delivery girl who comes by the store every day to replenish stock. Together they uncover shocking secrets. A can of worms is opened, and all hell breaks loose.
