The series is about Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl (Andreas Giebel), who lives in Berchtesgaden with his wife Elisabeth and three daughters Maria, Johanna and Eva. Beissl has been ensuring law and order in Berchtesgaden for decades. To his displeasure, one day he was given a new colleague. So far, the solitary inspector has loved to do his thing alone. His new colleague Jerry Paulsen (Peter Marton) is the son of a black GI and the daughter of an innkeeper from Bad Aibling. He is quite daring and able to work in a team and moved from Hamburg to Bavaria for reasons of love. But Jerry's chosen one is, of all people, Beissl's daughter Johanna. The two police commissioners have to solve a murder in the area in each episode. The locally rooted Beissl often knows the victims as well as their surroundings and potential perpetrators.
A climbing trip to the Grünstein proved fatal for Elisabeth. While Johanna is at home treating her mother's injured ankle, the Beissl family receives the news that the tour's mountain guide, internationally acclaimed climbing star Leon Stöhr, has been found dead. Dr. Hartmann determines beyond a doubt at the scene of the crime at the foot of the mountain that he was beaten to death. Sophia and Jerry's investigation quickly focuses on mountain filmmaker Maren Rieder. Contrary to her usual habits, she was not supposed to accompany the two climbing brothers Leon and Bastian on their prestigious US trip to Yosemite National Park and was very disappointed about this. Sophia also finds a headband in front of the Stöhrs' office. The dead man's brother, Bastian Stöhr, also seems suspicious. He obviously has something to hide. And when the brothers' climbing partner, Rupert Heckmair, reports a heated argument between the brothers, Sophia decides to observe the Stöhrs' house on her own. When she follows Bastian Stöhr to a lonely mountain hut, she gets a big surprise. She now urgently needs the help of Jerry and Beissl. But he has his hands full trying to convince Sophia's son Luis to take on a theater role as a police officer. With resounding success.
Johanna can't believe her eyes: is it possible that she has just witnessed a murder from outside the meditation pavilion of the "Center of Life"? Jerry dismisses her observation as a "pregnancy hallucination." But the next day, Johanna discovers traces of blood on a wheelbarrow in front of the center. When life coach and founder Mick Sontheimer fails to show up for work, Beissl, Sophia, and Jerry investigate. Max eventually finds Mick's buried body in the woods—stabbed to death, as Dr. Hartmann conclusively determines, before astonishing the investigators by demonstrating some flawless yoga exercises.
At the meditation center, the peaceful façade begins to crumble. Mick, who hosted a radio show in Berchtesgaden, had stolen the wife of radio technician Kai Arnold. Presenter Marie Doldinger provides Arnold—who left a threatening message on Mick's answering machine—with an alibi. Mick's coaching colleague Konstantin Wahler, who takes over his sessions, is under financial pressure: he paid heavily for his training but was only allowed to market Mick's program. Mick's current partner, sound bowl therapist Lisa Sterzel, on the other hand, appears genuinely distraught.
Johanna conducts her own investigation in a prenatal class and notices that another participant, Tamara Echternacht, is behaving suspiciously. But when Johanna uncovers her true identity, she suddenly finds herself in mortal danger. Jerry's instincts send him racing to the meditation center—just in time…
Luise Reitinger walks into the Berchtesgaden police station convinced of one thing: the message that her best friend and former colleague, paramedic Klara, supposedly sent from Kenya cannot be from her. Jerry quickly spots an inconsistency in the attached photo, and the federal police confirm that while Klara had booked a flight to Nairobi, she was not on board. Since no body has been found, Sophia, Jerry, and Beissl begin investigating within the emergency dispatch center's circle.
Why does Klara's colleague Ritschi only reluctantly admit that he was in a relationship with her until four weeks ago? What explains the bloodstains in Klara's apartment—and who wrote the alarming note reading "Murderer!"? Suspicion falls on the desperate father Toni Tretter, who blames the paramedics—station chief Bertha Heinze and paramedic Bruno Wichmann—for the accidental death of his daughter, claiming they took far too long to get her to the hospital.
When Klara's body is finally discovered in the woods and another message from her reaches Luise, it becomes clear that one of the suspects is playing a dangerous game. With the help of Franzi and Max, the investigators set a trap. But before it can snap shut, Jerry has to endure some gentle teasing from Johanna, who thinks his meticulously planned routes to the maternity ward are over the top. Then Johanna goes into labor—earlier and more intensely than expected—and suddenly even the best plan is useless.
