What a silly coincidence: Berlin's currently most hated man, fast food millionaire Horst König, trips right in front of Eddy's apartment door of all places. For the last thing that Eddy needs is the attention of the police. After all, he is a likeable trickster who finances his lifestyle by fleecing well- to-do people as well as a musician, complete with a bourgeois façade on Berlin's Kreuzberg with its leftist community. Although Eddy initially handles the situation well, the story soon gets out of control. The Horst König case develops into Berlin's major media event. Eddy is troubled by a bad conscience and tempted to explain all misunderstandings – especially to König's beautiful and eccentric daughter Romy.
›Holy Eddy‹ is a story about the disappearance of one of Berlin's big businessmen, about gossip journalists, a city going wild – and about the world's most wonderful scent.
