A disgraced prosecutor and a Roma apprentice walk into a murder case nobody wants solved.
Two years after consorting with the wrong people cost him his job as public prosecutor, Eduardo Silva is a measly defense attorney, who works from his hotel room. Loosing a bit from her fellow-angler uncle, he gives a shot as unpaid apprentice to freshly-graduated gypsy Marcia Amaya, whom nobody would consider hiring so far, but is soon offered crossing to the office of Silva's successor as prosecutor. Their first client is common-as-muck Joana Soares, accused of murdering her beached-up husband after a public fight, without an alibi, claiming a blackout. Eduardo is countered while working out, with help from Marcia's and Joana's families, how the affair actually relates to illegal trade in medicine, with twists including the involvement of a crime lord.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rare mainstream German TV portrayal of Roma characters beyond crime stereotypes, though Marcia's 'unhireable' status still leans on tragic tropes.
Director Sibylle Tafel primarily works in television comedy; this marked her deliberate pivot to crime procedural, explaining the tonal wobble between grim and jaunty.
