Pot meets capital: Kerem “Gianni” Ergin (Eidin Jalali), an inspector with Turkish roots and an extraordinary penchant for the dolce vita, has been successfully investigating in the district for years. For his new colleague Lou Baum (Caro Cult), who has just been transferred from Berlin, he is not easy to figure out. But the young woman knows how to hold her own and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, even in the Pott. Together they investigate the smallest police station in Germany, in the fictional town of Lipphafen – exactly where the Ruhr region is at its most contradictory: huge industrial buildings meet beautiful nature. Against this backdrop, Gianni and Lou also have to deal with their boss (Andreja Schneider), who is very much like Harald Juhnke: No appointments and always sit one easily. But the plan doesn’t work out …

Alongside Caro Cult and Eidin Jalali are Andreja Schneider as head of department Franziska Reusch and Gloria Odosi as police trainee Fine Lobrecht. Sina Tkotsch, Christian Erdt, Peter Kremer, Amy Benkenstein, Moritz Heidelbach, Cornelia Gröschel, Sönke Möhring, Sevda Polat, Tijan Marei, Matthias Komm, Anni Kaltwasser, Vincent Krüger and many more play roles in the episodes.
