Black Gold tells the story of a fictional village and its inhabitants against the historical backdrop of the spectacular oil discovery in Wietze, Lower Saxony (in the district of Celle), when one of the world's first oil drilling operations was carried out in 1858.
The series is based on the book "Bilal" by the Italian journalist Fabrizio Gatti. His investigative research tells the story of 28 African migrants escaping to Europe. It also sheds light on the brutal actions of smuggling gangs and modern human trafficking.
Lukas Franke (Matthias Schweighöfer) is the victim of a cyber-crime attack. All his personal data, web and social media profiles get hacked and he gets accused of being involved in eco-terrorism. Lukas struggles to prove that he is innocent. His family, friends and colleagues doubt his innocence and start suspecting him. Lukas tries to find out who is behind the cyber-attacks and finds another victim, Lena Arandt, with whom he tries to solve the situation. Together they find out that someone from the German BKA (Federal Criminal Police) pulls the strings behind this crime.
