Sarah Marquardt, the head of administration at the Saxony Clinic, is enthusiastic: Dr. Roland Heilmann is to appear as a speaker at a medical congress at the Bangkok Hospital in Thailand. All travel expenses will be reimbursed, including for a representative of the clinic management and an assistant. What an opportunity to acquire funds and partnerships for the Saxony Clinic! Plus a few days of sun, sand and the Buddhist way of life. Roland is not at all enthusiastic, but has to submit. And the young nurse Kris, who knows Thailand, is allowed to work as Roland's assistant.
But Roland, Sarah and Kris never arrive in Bangkok. Your plane will be diverted to Krabi. No congress, no connecting flight, nothing works. As compensation, the tour operator gives them three days in a luxury holiday resort. What Roland sees as "compulsory leave", Sarah and Kris clearly seem to enjoy. Roland wants to return to Leipzig as soon as possible, via Malaysia if necessary. But the bus the three of them board does not go to Malaysia, but to a temple in the jungle. On the trip, Roland is challenged as a doctor and suddenly ends up with Kris in a small jungle village without a telephone connection or internet.
While Sarah, who was left alone on the bus, tries to look for Roland and Kris with the help of the local honorary consul and the police chief, Roland meets the attractive Swedish doctor Dr. Helen Larsson again.
Through Helen, Roland learns a different way of life and a holistic way of healing. Meanwhile, Sarah struggles with Thai customs and slowly begins to worry about her karma. But Roland and Kris have completely different worries. You have to save the lives of the heavily pregnant Tamika and her child in a dramatic action and under difficult circumstances in the middle of the jungle.
Here, in the middle of the jungle, Roland does not find out that his newly-in love son Jakob is in acute danger at home in Leipzig. His transplanted heart has been badly affected by an infection and the colleagues at the Saxony Clinic have been trying to reach Roland for hours. Returning to Leipzig, Roland has to make a decision in the face of his terminally ill son, in which his experiences in the jungle of Thailand and a Buddha play a role.
