The mismatched sisters Caro and Niki Berger find themselves forced to work together after their father's breakdown and take over his current case in Landsberg.
Caro Berger is stunned: Her sister Niki has actually lost her license to practice law, and no one but her is supposed to know? Does Niki seriously think she can keep this a secret?
Mrs. Dörfler, a former teacher of the Berger sisters, allegedly slapped a student. But since she is innocent, she asks them to take action against the suspension.
Caro and Niki are stunned: Their mother asks them to take over the mandate of Captain Lanzinger - the man with whom she wanted to start a new life until a few days ago.
Caro and Niki are annoyed that their father threw them out in a knee-jerk reaction. He thinks that instead of going to rehab, he'd rather run the firm on his own again.
Niki cannot close her eyes to the fact that - against her principles - she is in love with Martin Loibl. However, she has no idea that he is concealing something crucial.
Still reeling from Caro telling the entire family that she'd lost her license, Niki asks Martin about his wife--and learns of an interesting arrangement in the Loibls' marriage.
Niki Berger realizes that Martin Loibl's decision to end their affair is affecting her more than she would have thought. However, she has no idea what led to his decision.
Benjamin, the son of a District Administrator, seeks help from the Bergers. He has admitted to having caused an accident and fleeing the scene, but the police are investigating him for illegal street racing.
Caro Berger is called to a crime scene: Maria Buch is sitting traumatized next to her dead mother - the police consider legal advice necessary because Maria remains silent.
David Reichold, a teacher in Mario Angerbauer's son's Catholic kindergarten, is seeking the help of the Berger law firm: He has been dismissed - because he wants a divorce.
