- Karl Singhammer left his Bavarian home village and future as hop farm heir for a Munich brewery executive job after a biter row with his father Joseph 'Sepp', who blindly blamed the then knave for 'failing to prevent' his careless kid sister drowning. Karl responds to his mother Franziska's plea to come save the harvest after Sepp's cardiac attack. Thus he meets again neighbor and youth girlfriend Leni, who can't hang on to her small hop farm alone. Saving clueless kid brat Marie from drowning, he bumps into her single mother Sophie Kreilinger, a one night stand who fascinates and confuses him, being an 'exotic dancer' and sanctimonious liar, who also renders Leni viciously jealous. Father releases himself from hospital to prevent Karl taking the reins, but agrees there can be only one captain and it's time to pass the helm, yet mother insists that requires a farmer's wife.
- Former manager of the year Tom Sommer left the rat race to move back into his sleepy home town and run the local grocery, also specializing in marmalade. The death of a widow crone brings home after years her daughter, surgeon Agnes Moller, who plans to sell the property hastily, and her single daughter, food critic Sofie Möller, just dumped as career bitch by her boyfriend, who gets a warm welcome from youth friend Tom. They start a frolicking affair, but her assuming all villagers are backward losers, even Tom whom she expects to jump at a poorly paid repair job, gets even to him. Meanwhile clearing the house and the mystery of the choice of a double grave instead of that next to Sophie's grandfather sets her on the trail of her supposedly ever-absent father.
- A Greenpeace expedition ship in the arctic anticipates an environmental catastrophe. An arctic glacier as large as France will soon break down into the ocean producing a flood wave one of which will wash away large parts of the northern European coast. However German officials are not willing to take Greenpeace' warnings for serious. Two days later the wave is on its way...
- Everything runs like clockwork for the Jens family: Hanna and Martin are extremely happily married, their son Paul is a bright, funny eleven-year-old boy. Professionally, too, things are going well: Both are employed in managerial positions in a Hamburg shipyard, Hanna in quality management, Martin in the development department. Everything is fine the way it is. And then it gets even better. Because completely surprisingly, Hanna is promoted to second managing director by junior boss Bernd Möller. A recognition that Hanna would never have dreamed of. And Martin is overjoyed, too, as he now sees the necessary funds for the development of his passion project, a revolutionary fuel cell, within reach with Hanna's support. Of course not all that glitters is gold. Because what Hanna didn't know, the traditional shipyard is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hanna has to go through a tough austerity course, which Martin's project also falls victim to. Sworn to secrecy by junior boss Möller, Hanna cannot confide in her angry, disappointed husband. Thick storm clouds are now hanging over the former picture-book family, which are becoming even darker because of Martin's widowed, headstrong father Willfried, who has temporarily moved in with them. For Willfried, the mere fact that not Martin but Hanna became boss is an impossibility; that she is now also - apparently - deliberately sabotaging his son, another sign of the completely wrong course of the modern world. Where will this all end? First of all, in a veritable marriage crisis of the former dream couple. While Martin seeks encouragement from a young colleague, Hanna wears herself out in her fight for the shipyard and slowly discovers that someone is playing the wrong cards in order to enrich themselves from the ruin of the shipyard. But it seems too late to try to save both the shipyard and their marriage.
