Edith 'Eddie' Beelitz was quite satisfied when she was able to leave active police service for parental leave years ago, as she realized that her career choice was wrong. But then comes the day when she realizes that her husband Philipp was also the wrong choice. Almost overnight, she finds herself on the street with her little daughter Lotti, without a home and without an income. A stroke of luck in misfortune: the Bochum police are experiencing a severe personnel shortage, which is why her request to work part-time is gladly granted. She is even assigned to the homicide division. However, the luck ends there, as she has an old but very cooled friendship with her new team leader. Moreover, she is not only supposed to manage files but must also go to the front lines. In front of the job center lies the body of job seeker Ronja Bleier - she has been brutally murdered.
