Hauke Jacobs's vet practice wins the municipal social projects prize for assistant Jule Christiansen's neglected animals 'mercy garden', but she feels neglected by Hauke, who ignores her romantic interest and eagerly invites to his home boat ex Sandy de Man, who cook for the pair and hopes to lure him away. Her arrival 'coincides' with the crimes of two fake beat cops, actually drug trade thugs from Hamburg, who terrorize locals, including a gambling-debts-bound farmer accomplice. Hauke and constable Lona Voigt tie their trails together.
