Priest Tonio and therapist Julia are keeping their distance from one another, but Tanja Clemens needs their help. At the age of 28, her grown-up son Andi still can't stand on his own two feet, and now he has moved back in with her. Tanja had actually just redecorated her home and settled into her life, but doesn't she have to be there for her son first? Tonio arranges a job for Andi, but Julia thinks that is a mistake.

After a minor rear-end collision, Hanna Stegmeyer finds herself in Tonio and Julia's counseling center, completely distraught. She is obviously very afraid of the reaction she knows will come from her husband, the successful Dr. Joachim Stegmeyer. Who, as it turns out, is also the boss of Julia's new boyfriend, Dr. Felix Born. This is a delicate situation for Julia, because Dr. Stegmeyer has made his wife completely and systematically dependent on him.
