Overview
The detectives are dealing with an unusual case: the husband of successful real estate agent Birgit Leibold reports his wife as kidnapped. Detective Beissl is skeptical, wondering whether Klaus Leibold himself might be involved—especially when it turns out that the agent's facade is more appearance than reality: Birgit Leibold is broke! Is the husband now trying to get back on his feet financially by staging a fake kidnapping? The unusual ransom sum leads the detectives' investigations into the real estate world. A secret deal between the agent and her best friend, Veronika Berger, presents the detectives with a mystery. But then the agent's former employee, Quirin Steiner, becomes the focus of the investigation: a bitter dispute rages between him and Birgit over commissions and reputation.
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.
