Sophie Haas had actually been looking forward to finally being promoted to head of Cologne's homicide squad. But instead, she is unexpectedly transferred to the fictitious provincial town of Hengasch, where murder and manslaughter are nowhere in sight. At least that's how it seems at first glance. However, behind the perfect façade of the sleepy Eifel village, abysses soon open up that provide the ambitious city detective with enough food for thought to prevent her from becoming bogged down behind a desk in her job. Together with her rather staid police colleagues Dietmar Schäffer and Bärbel Schmied, she goes on the hunt for criminals in the rural environment. The series lives from its lovingly drawn quirky characters and their very special humour.

It's Christmas Eve in Hengasch and, like every year, Sophie plans to spend the holidays with Doro and her friends. She had already applied weeks ago for a vacant position at the Cologne CID and hopes to be invited at least to the interview - which leads to a little upset in Schulte, because Sophie actually does not want to live in Hengash. The deadline for applications is today. Like every year, Zielonka is supposed to give Santa Claus in the kindergarten, in the town hall and in many other places in Hengasch - but he doesn't show up. It turns out that Zielonka was actually kidnapped. When the postman returns her application for Cologne – with insufficient postage – she comes under pressure: If she still wants to apply for the job, she should actually leave immediately to hand in the envelope in person and doom Zielonka. In the spectacular finale, in which Sophie and the team free Zielonka, Sophie decides to do the impossible: to submit her application in Cologne. Will she succeed?
