- It's been decades since Richard Steiner turned his back on his hometown on Lake Tegernsee to pursue a career in Berlin. Over the years he has built up a successful law firm as a commercial lawyer and leads a sophisticated life with a charming wife, a luxurious apartment - and an attractive lover. One day, however, Richard is confronted with his long-forgotten roots: his uncle surprisingly inherited a hotel in his home village. Richard reluctantly drives to the Tegernsee with his nature-loving wife Christina. While Christina is enthusiastic about the traditional house and its charming employees at first sight, Richard would like to return to Berlin immediately. Only when a property speculator who wants to demolish the hotel and build a brand new golf course offers him three million euros does his interest in the inheritance jump from zero to one hundred. There's only one catch: his uncle has decreed that Richard must personally manage the hotel for four weeks before it becomes his property. So Richard changes out of necessity for a traditional jacket and tries to be a charming host. What he doesn't suspect: Old Hannes, receptionist and "good soul" of the house, has hatched a plan together with Christina and secretly mobilized the villagers as holiday guests in order to fool the unmotivated Richard into believing that the hotel business is flourishing. Lo and behold, Richard soon starts to like his new job more and more. Beautiful childhood memories are awakened, the office stress falls away from him, and the marriage with Christina seems to experience a second spring in the idyllic mountain world. However, the sale project is becoming more and more distant. But then Richard's bitchy lover Annett surprisingly turns up at Tegernsee. When Christina catches them both in flagrante delicto, the situation escalates - the marriage between Richard and Christina and the future of the hotel are threatened. But Richard doesn't give up that easily.

- Fanny Burkhard is a woman in her prime: attractive, fit and successful at work. Together with Roland Beck, she runs a management consultancy whose specialty is threading hostile company takeovers: large corporations that want to swallow small companies find cunning helpers in the duo. But the collaboration with her ex-boyfriend Roland, who once left her for a younger woman, is noticeably troubling Fanny - she has been suffering from insomnia for three years. She urgently needs distance and a change of scenery. With the newly planned agency branch in Hong Kong, this goal seems to be within reach. But before it can go to the Far East, she is supposed to thread one last deal in her home town of Munich: A Chinese company wants to buy a small German game company. Before making an offer to the owner, Fanny should get more information about his new, still top secret board game - not a grateful job, because the control-mad business woman hates all kinds of games. During the preparations for the undercover assignment, Fanny is amazed when the weird game inventor Christian turns out to be her former flat-share neighbor from student days. Back then he broke the heart of her best friend Nicole. Fanny makes contact with him through a fictitious chance encounter and begins to spy on him. But the better she gets to know him, the harder it is for her to betray him. The fact that her 20-year-old nephew Florian gets along brilliantly with Christian's pretty daughter Marie doesn't make matters any easier. On the other hand, Roland finally wants to see results and Nicole is not allowed to find out what Fanny feels about her former crush.
