Judge Lena Kalbach has come to terms quite well with life in her daughter Nike's house following her disciplinary transfer from Frankfurt to Fulda, despite the friction that prevails between the two women. Lena and court director Dr. Kästle have an intense dislike for each other and she is determined to stay at Fulda's local court just because he does not want her there. Although she considers her job at the court to be more of a burden than anything else, she has to declare property mogul Canninenberg and his lawyer Teddy Klein's repossession claim against shop-owner and single-parent Christine Schrunz as legal and binding, despite her sense of justice, which craves for a different verdict. But Lena has a trick up her sleeve? In the meantime, Teddy not only flirts with Lena, but increasingly focuses his seductive skills on Nike as well. Lena observes this with concern and a fair portion of jealousy?
