A former cop turned vet navigates small-town secrets and unexpected alliances while solving crimes that threaten his new home.
Episodes
Retired city cop Hauke Jacobs starts a new career as veterinarian in Ostsee small port town Schwanitz, where he bough a home boat. The only local vet dies from a suicidal car-dive in the canal before Hauke's eyes at arrival, despite local 'chief' cop Lona Vogt after him. So unconventional, in-living practice assistant Jule Christiansen is hired as Hauke takes over the patients. Beach-strolling, Jacob discovers a stranded fishing boat, aboard of which are parrot Käpt'n Hook and two corpses, the first in the (Lübeck) area in decades. Drowning in inexperience, Vogt commandeers reluctant Hauke's expertise. The case turns international: two Latvian ferry passengers are reported missing, in fact au pair-girls tracked down by human traffickers Matthias Keller and Viktors Berzins and hiding with local widower farmer Thorsten Riemann, being observed by Turkish tramp Mehmet Ösker.
Veterinarian and ex-Hamburg cop Hauke Jacobs refuses to believe his practice town Schwanitz's legend that as every seven year, medieval raider Viking captain Sven rises from his sea grave to kill two people, but on Baltic peninsula Priwall every one shivers anyway. Local Selchow is found in bed, drowned, so constable Lona Vogt and Hauke's assistant Jule Christiansen superstitiously blame wild Sen, whom fisherman drowned about 10 years ago. While Jacobs and Vogt search for the real, modern killer, his past as key witness in a mob trial requiring witness protection reaches the sleepy harbor town, involving Turks and a maritime smuggling scheme but also a dark personal grudge secret about the Lutheran minster's daughter, whose abuse-murdered daughter Agnes was deemed a previous Sven victim.

The transport.
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.
Former Hamburg cop Hauke Jacobs helps Schwanitz police officer Lona Vogt with their cases while he works as the new veterinarian in town with their assistant's support Jule Christiansen.
