Dirk Van de Vijver is trapped blindfolded in a basement. When his business partner Carl Verswyfelt receives a envelop carrying one of Dirk's fingers and a letter which requests 200,000 euros ransom, Tom and Fien are put on the case. They soon discover that Van de Vijver embezzled money from different clients and think maybe one of them is now using this cruel way to get his or her money back. Meanwhile Lucas asks Jimmy to spy on Tom in order to find out more about his private investigation.
