- What use is a good Abitur if the climate is changing? For 17-year-old high school student Lilly, there are more important things than school. It looks correspondingly bleak with their admission to the Abitur. While father Martin fails with a bang to lure her with a dream trip, mother Nina makes an unusual deal: if Lilly really crams from now on, her parents will in return help protect the climate. From now on, only fresh food will be cooked at home, lavender will replace industrial washing powder and you can go to work by bike. There are only exceptions for little brother Tom. But the road to an emission-free life is not a sure-fire success. After weeks, agency owner Nina and chief physician Martin are not only looking for secret exceptions to the rules, but also get into discussions about their lives up to now. And since Lilly doesn't quite stick to the deal with her parents either, the initially abstract discussion about climate-friendly living escalates into a true family crisis.
- Frank Stolpe, der seit Jahren ein Doppelleben als Vater zweier Familien geführt hat, wird nach einem missglückten Banküberfall des versuchten schweren Raubes angeklagt. Er beteuert, nur aus Not und Verwirrung gehandelt zu haben, und gelobt vor Gericht Besserung. Als er mit Contis Hilfe tatsächlich auf Bewährung freikommt, kann die ehrgeizige Staatsanwältin Henry Mahn das Urteil kaum fassen. Sie beginnt zu recherchieren und stößt auf einen ungelösten Fall - einen bewaffneten Raubüberfall auf ein Wettbüro -, der Parallelen zu Stolpes Vorgehen beim Banküberfall aufweist. Und als die Tatwaffe in Stolpes Wohnung gefunden wird, fragt sich auch Conti, ob sie ihrem Mandanten noch trauen kann, und stellt ihn zur Rede. Doch Frank Stolpe behauptet steif und fest, nichts mit dem Überfall zu tun zu haben, und gibt Conti einen Hinweis, der sie zu seinem Bruder führt, einem drogenabhängigen Künstler. Stimmt Stolpes Behauptung? Welchem der beiden Brüder kann Conti glauben? Conti muss Stolpes Leben entwirren, doch statt auf Lösungen stößt sie auf weitere Rätsel. Wer ist Stolpe wirklich? Und welche Rolle spielt seine Frau in dem Ganzen? Conti will nicht moralisieren, sondern verstehen. Und Henry Mahn sinnt auf Gerechtigkeit.

- 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.

Hat dieser skrupellose Love-Scammer auch etwas mit dem Mord an Camille zu tun? Judith und Freddy müssen erkennen, dass es inzwischen nur noch eine aktiv bestehende Verbindung zu dem gesuchten Verdächtigen gibt: Karen.

- Conti hat eine Zeit der persönlichen Krisen und der schmerzvollen Selbstreflektion hinter sich. Doch als sie von dem Wirbel um die bekannte, junge Mutter und Musikerin Elisabeth "Liz" Jordan Wind bekommt, erwacht der noch in ihr schlummernde Kampfgeist und Sinn für Gerechtigkeit. Der Sängerin wird vorgeworfen, ihren Säugling in der Badewanne ertränkt zu haben. Als bereits bekannte "Rabenmutter" wird sie von der Presse und auf Social Media öffentlich bloßgestellt und schonungslos (vor-)verurteilt - eine Erfahrung, die Anwältin Conti unfreiwillig mit der jungen Frau verbindet. Sie übernimmt den Fall, und die Verteidigung wird für die einstige Staranwältin zum Comeback. Im Prozess um den Mord an der kleinen Zara steht Conti ihrer einstigen Referendarin Henry Mahn gegenüber. Für die junge Staatsanwältin ist es der erste Fall. Sie will keine Fehler machen. Für Conti steht Henrys erster Fehler jedoch schon fest: Zu Unrecht wurde Liz vorschnell in U-Haft gesteckt und damit in der Öffentlichkeit für Stimmung und Hetze gesorgt. Doch kurz bevor der Haftrichter Liz' Freilassung gewährt, spricht diese plötzlich ein klares Geständnis aus und lässt ihre Verteidigerin in einer scheinbar aussichtslosen Position zurück. Mit Liz in U-Haft und Matt Westphal, dem Musikproduzenten und Kindsvater, als Nebenkläger steht Conti nicht nur vor einem besonders verzwickten Fall, sondern auch selbst wieder im Rampenlicht. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Schützling Carlo, der es sich im vergangenen Jahr in ihrer schicken Kanzlei an der Alster wohnlich eingerichtet hat, vertieft sich Conti in die Recherche und Verteidigungsstrategie. Dabei stoßen die beiden auf Liz' wohlgehütetes Geheimnis.
