First season

Police commissioner Kristina Katzer, who works in the Weimar Police Department , is given a new colleague who has been transferred as a punishment due to a liaison with the wife of his former superior. It turns out that the new colleague, Commissioner Lukas Hundt, is the former friend of Commissioner Katzer, with whom she had an affair a few years ago. This affair resulted in Kristina's daughter Jule Katzer, which Kristina is hiding. At first Lukas doesn't know that he has a daughter, while Jule doesn't know in return that her mother's new colleague is also her father. At the end of the first season, Kristina reveals to Lukas that Jule is his daughter.

Second season

The two commissioners Lukas Hundt and Kristina Katzer are now a good team. As always, there is a lot to do in Weimar and the whole team of the commissioner's office is challenged. Lukas Hundt is also challenged, who tries to grow into his role as a father and although he doesn’t do that badly, Kristina Katzer does not trust him to do so. This not only complicates the professional, but also the private relationship of the two and Kristina's new friend, martial arts teacher Alexander Rick, does not exactly help to improve.

Third season

After a night together, the two commissioners wake up. Freshly in love, they make new plans. But before Lukas was with Kristina, he had a date with Yvette. Nothing happened, except for the kiss, but Lukas hides it from Kristina. When she finds out, the relationship is over for the time being. Finally, they visit couples therapist Dr. Simone Nüssele-Dövedin, who thinks that Hundt is not entirely unattractive either. Kristina and Lukas remain a couple until Lukas runs away from a session at Nüssele-Dövedin's in anger. Professionally, the two are still a very good team, privately it is not that easy. When "Simone" visits Lukas, the thread breaks. Lukas calls Berlin to get his old job back. He tells Kristina that he really loves her and also hopes for the three little words from her. Lukas is shot in the dramatic showdown and goes to the hospital. While Lukas is fighting for his life, Kristina realizes that she doesn't want to lose him. She confesses her love to him.

characters

Kristina Katzer

Kristina Katzer is the chief inspector in Weimar. She is a good and conscientious policewoman, but she doesn't always stick to conventional methods, which sometimes helps her to solve a case. She has a daughter named Jule, with whom she lives with her mother. She doesn't always get on so well with her colleague Lukas Hundt, which is not infrequently because he is the father of her daughter and Kristina Katzer cannot really get used to the fact that Lukas is now part of the family.

Lukas Hundt

Lukas Hundt is the chief inspector at the criminal police in Weimar. You can't say he's a bad inspector, but Lukas Hundt is quick-tempered and doesn't always stick to the rules. Perhaps that is precisely why he often follows the right track and, together with his colleague Kristina Katzer, forms a great team, at least professionally. In private, this is not always the case, because the charming heartthrob does not yet cope with his role as a father and often shines with being unpunctual or absent.

Elli Katzer

Elli Katzer is the mother of Kristina Katzer and lives with her daughter and granddaughter on their own vineyard in Weimar. She always sees herself as a mediator between Kristina and Lukas Hundt, which, however, does not always go down so well with her daughter.

Jule Katzer

Jule Katzer is the daughter of Kristina Katzer and Lukas Hundt. It wasn't until late that she found out that Lukas was her father. When her mother finally tells her the truth, Jule is very happy because she had already got on well with Lukas. However, she is sometimes disappointed in her father when he lets her sit down again.

Yvette Müller

Yvette Müller is the secretary for the police in Weimar. She helps the two inspectors as best she can, for example by tracking down suspects or checking alibis. And although the thanks to Yvette are usually neglected, she gets along well with both of them. Lukas Hundt even tries to land with her sometimes with a little flirt.

Dr. Leo storm

Dr. Leo Sturm is the responsible forensic doctor at the Weimar Police Department. He loves his job just as much as his newlywed wife, and both of these sometimes do not allow him to relax.

Alexander Rick

Alexander Rick is a martial arts teacher. Kristina Katzer and he got to know each other during a training session and grew closer.
