Nora Kaminski is from the Ruhr area and was a doctor on a luxury cruise ship. After allegedly selling a drug to improve sexual performance to a heart patient, she is given temporary leave by her employer and the family of the deceased patient is suing her. Nora goes to the practice of her college friend Dr. Richard Freese on Rügenunder. There she is faced with many problems - not least because of her direct nature. After having little luck with her landlord, she moves in with Freese a short time later.
