Christoffer's father Aksel has died. The son of the Borch-Muller steel mill has to return to Denmark from Sweden where he had been staying with actress Maria.
So the two fly home where Christoffer's mother Anneliese (who assumed the role of the head of the house) insisted that her returning son to take over the ailing family steel company. This is much to the objection to Christoffer's sister Benedikte. But their mother is firm in her decision to appoint Christoffer as the new chief.
It was the start of disastrous events to come. With an impending merger with a French steel company, Christoffer has no choice but to fire 200 employees of his father's firm. His own brother-in-law Ulrik was among the ones (given he spread rumours about him), and it's something his own sister Benedikte could not accept. Christoffer even refused to talk about work matters with Maria, thus making their relationship soured even further.
The eventual merger went successful, but at what price?
The price of inheriting a family business too much of a burden for Christoffer, but he learns about how to deal with everyone he knows along the way, though the journey can be really painful. Family ties are also being looked into as well.
