Plot Summary

A small baby can sometimes cause major complications - especially if the parents are nowhere to be found. Parish priest Jens Steffensen is faced with this problem when a desperate young woman leaves a newborn baby in the church after confession. He would ideally like to hand the child over to the youth welfare office immediately, because the servant of God is familiar with baptizing the little ones, but he has not yet had any experience in changing diapers and feeding them. But he did the math without his smart housekeeper Sophie. She immediately takes the baby into her heart and persuades Steffensen with the tongue of an angel to look for the poor mother on her own. Sophie is convinced that the woman has long since regretted her decision. Unfortunately, the new roommate doesn't stay a secret for long. After just a few days, the tabloids reported on the front pages about the priest, his housekeeper and the mysterious "parsonage baby". The Episcopal Ordinariate is following the events in Fischbach with great concern. The last thing the church needs is negative headlines. Steffensen's former brother Clemens Stölzer is supposed to get the matter under control on behalf of the bishop - and quickly. However, this doesn't turn out to be easy, because even the grumpy northern light Steffensen is now completely infatuated with his protégé. When the youth welfare office gets involved at Stölzer's instigation, Sophie and the priest have to put their foot down and find the mother before the foundling ends up in the home. While the two of them discover a hot lead in a posh golf hotel thanks to their detective instinct, several men in Fischbach are sweating hard as they search for the child's origins.
