Every two weeks their children from previous relationships live with them in the household and the other week they are with their other parent. Lisa has left her husband Martin for Patrik, together they have ten-year-old Eddie and their teenage daughter Bianca. Katja, Patrik's former wife and mother of William, is an architect, while Lisa's ex-husband Martin works in a bed shop. Now Lisa becomes pregnant after a short time with Patrik.
