Overview
Fly fisherman Werner Brandl is found dead in Hintersee. Who killed the head of a timber house construction company? Jerry is surprised at how little Beissl knows about the victim, given that they are both members of the same fishing club. Suspicion initially falls on barbecue rowdy Lorenz Estermann, who, according to the dead man's wife, threatened her husband shortly before his death. And to Beissl's chagrin, the detectives also have to take action in the fishing club, especially with regard to club chairman Simon Spöck. The victim had botched the construction of Spöck's wooden house, forcing Simon Spöck and his family to live on a campsite. Did Simon Spöck want revenge on his former friend? Or is Spöck's son Hannes behind the crime? He recently started dating Katharina, the victim's daughter, which Spöck did not approve of. Beissl's less than impressive social skills also lead to some conflicts in the Beissl household, until Johanna finally has a frank conversation with her father.
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.
