Overview

The team doctor of the SV Königssee bobsleigh team is found dead at the training center. Beissl and Jerry quickly realize that there is tension within the bobsleigh team, especially between the two ambitious pilots Andre Probst and Tomi Aureiner. On the evening before the crime, an argument between the doctor and the coach escalates. But the real suspect is the team's service technician, Ludwig Mittermeier, known as Wiggerl. Beissl finds himself in a deep moral dilemma, as Wiggerl is his best friend from childhood.

About the show

The series revolves around Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl (Andreas Giebel), who lives in Berchtesgaden with his wife Elisabeth and their three daughters, Maria, Johanna, and Eva. Beissl has been upholding law and order in Berchtesgaden for decades. Much to his annoyance, he is one day assigned a new colleague. Until now, the solitary inspector has preferred to work alone. His new partner, Jerry Paulsen (Peter Marton), is the son of a Black GI and a landlady from Bad Aibling. He is quite daring, a team player, and moved from Hamburg to Bavaria for love. However, Jerry's love interest happens to be Beissl's daughter, Johanna. In each episode, the two police commissioners must solve a murder in the area. The locally rooted Beissl often knows the victims, their environment, and potential perpetrators.
