Winning the Tour de France in 1997 made Jan Ullrich a star. But soon after, the downfall of road cycling's biggest talent begins. The five-part documentary series follows the stages of his life and his career.

Frank Fechner, then general manager of FC St. Pauli, remembers the summer of 2005. The summer before the “B-series” began: “the club had been broke several times. The court officer had been a regular visitor to the club’s office, but there was nothing more to get for him.” What happened then wasn’t only unique in sporting terms, but also lifesaving for the proud FC St. Pauli. Over eight months and five DFB-Cup rounds, the regional league team prevents that “the club disappears from the soccer map”, as Fabian Boll puts it. FC St. Pauli eliminated four higher-division teams out of the competition. After victories against Burghausen, Berlin and Bremen, the series only ended in the semi-final against Bayern.

It is April 15th, 1989. Thousands of fans are rushing into Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield to watch the FA-Cup semi-final between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forrest. The day ends with one of the greatest tragedies in football: 96 people do not survive the catastrophe of Hillsborough. 766 get injured. The 30-minute-long documentary especially gives a voice to the survivors.
