Story and premise

The police station in the Berlin district of Köpenick is getting a new and unusual team: The former chief detective Robert Heffler, a single father of three daughters, was transferred to Berlin-Köpenick three years ago for personal reasons by the permanent detective service from a hotspot area as a dispatcher. Due to a lack of staff, at the request of department head Katharina Koblinsk, he is now to support the new colleague, Chief Detective Kay Freund, in a tricky murder case on the Spree. Freund is young and described as risk-taking and workaholic. Their first case together leads them to an unknown corpse in the Spree, which was stunned, slain and thrown into the water.
