The practical semester at the Halle/Saale police academy starts. Finally, the students can get out of the seminar rooms and into real life - which to them means real murder cases. With the support of their Homicide Instructors, they will have to solve it. In addition, the beginners sometimes miss their mark, make mistakes and have to learn something new on their way to become consummate detectives. In each episode, a case is dissected, discussed and solved, while the private entanglements of the students, teachers and instructors are also discussed.
