Julie Berg, a chaotic free spirit who is divorced and has moved five times since her divorce, moves with her two children, Heinrich and Freya, to Augsburg to live with her uncle Theo and his fortune-telling partner, Trudi, after her chocolate shop in Berlin goes bankrupt. To earn money, Julie joins Theo’s failing private detective agency. Her first job is at a department store, where on her very first day she runs into Bettina, a kleptomaniac. Because Julie doesn’t report Bettina but lets her go, she promptly loses her job at the store. Bettina hires Julie to keep her husband under surveillance because she fears he is being unfaithful. In the process, Julie discovers that the real problem lies somewhere else entirely. Bettina was given up for adoption as a child, and throughout her life she has suffered from not knowing who her mother is. Bettina’s husband and daughter suffer as a result.
