Overview

Anton Gerg, head of the renowned carpentry and woodcarving school in Berchtesgaden, is found murdered in the school's wood storage area. The first lead points to Marc Bleyer, a former student of Gerg's who was recently expelled from his design class. When it turns out that Bleyer is having an affair with Gerg's wife Sabrina, the detectives suspect a murder plot. But then it emerges that the highly acclaimed designer put his students under enormous pressure and passed off their ideas as his own. Could this be the key to solving the case?

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.
