Professional dartsplayer Eddie is in a crisis. Fame gone, money gone, wife gone and physical fitness also leaves much to be desired. With the help of his old buddy Nobbe, who is also a rusty dart professional, but with a strong tendency towards alcohol, Eddie wants to find his way back into life and his career and to prove that he was not called "the wasp" for nothing. Easier said than done...
Original Berliner Eddie Frotzke has his best years as a darts pro behind him and spends his time in bars rather than at tournaments. Nevertheless, he and his protégé Kevin still dream of the World Darts Championship.
After a successful start to the tournament, Eddie is regaining hope. Maybe things will soon be better with his wife Manu, too. In a pub he meets his old friend Nobbe.
Eddie, one-eyed and disowned by the darts association, makes his way as a salesman and lives with Nobbe in the arbor. Manu, meanwhile, takes care of Kevin's styling and darts career.
Eddie does not give up: He makes an appeal to the Berlin Darts Association to have his ban lifted. With ex-professional dart player Nobbe as his coach, he tries to get back into tournament shape.
The decision of the darts association has been made. Eddie will only be allowed to play in tournaments again if he pays a large fine. But where is he going to get the money? Eddie lets Nobbe in on his plan.
While Nobbe is in the hospital, Eddie and Manu get closer again. At the next competition, "the wasp" finally wants to sting. But the tournament has a big surprise in store for Eddie.
Eddie is in jail. Alone in his cell, he not only misses his life as a darts professional and his wife Manu: The worst thing is the loss of his friend Nobbe.
Eddie's probation officer Bärbel is just waiting for Eddie to make a misstep. In addition, he has to pay Mucki back 10,000 euros - but how is he supposed to do that?
Entering an illegal darts tournament, Eddie and Kevin are in their element. However, they are ripped off there and have difficulties paying their debts to the debt collectors Udo and Raul.
Probation officer Bärbel becomes suspicious and Manu catches Eddie lying red-handed. But he only has one thing in mind: pay back his gambling debts together with Kevin.
Eddie has to go back to prison for violating his terms. Meanwhile, Manu romances her own mental coach, until Eddie makes a surprising discovery that will change everything.
After Eddie is back on the big darts stage, he wants to win back the wayward Manu. He ends up having a plan of his own, while Eddie plans to convict their coach, Ansgard, of betting cheating.
