Otto Fuchs has felt dead inside for years. Paralysed by fear of pretty much anything, he has wasted his
life in a middle-class bubble. After a stranger steals his identity and dies in a freak accident, Otto is mistakenly declared dead. Now Otto has a chance to start anew, but will he go back to his old life or
reinvent himself?
He discovers that the man who stole his identity was a criminal fixer known as The Hoff. Otto adopts this persona which becomes a form of therapy to exorcise all his fears while trying to “fix” the illegal, bizarre and outrageous problems of Frankfurt’s citizens by stealing a golden cock ring from a corpse at a burial, infiltrating the Serbian mafia’s sex dungeon, and kidnapping a clown for his healthy kidney. From junkies to bankers, everyone has The Hoff’s number on speed dial. Only now, Otto is answering the phone. It turns out that being a fixer was just the boost he needed to start feeling alive again.
But nothing comes for free, especially second chances.
