action

Julie Berg, single mother and previous occasional jobber, is at the center of the new family series. She moves to Augsburg with her two teenage children and dares to start over. More by chance than planned, she slips into the profession of private investigator, whose field of work, however, is entirely based on interpersonal relationships. As a family detective, she looks after people who have disappeared, people in search of their roots or their true identity.
