Die Chefin — Season 1

Not an easy first case for the Munich chief inspector Vera Lanz: 24-year-old Kim Landauer, daughter of a prominent innkeeper, fell from the balcony of her apartment after returning from a nightclub - suicide, as it seems at first glance. But soon everything points to murder - by a perpetrator who did not have to force his way into the apartment. The investigation focuses on the victim's 23-year-old ex-boyfriend and his prominent family. Meanwhile, the victim's father apparently holds a former business partner responsible and seems capable of anything in his grief and pain.

When Vera Lanz and Jan Trompeter take over the murder of Nicolas Bluhm, everything initially points to a crime in the hustler milieu. Shortly thereafter, the inspectors manage to track down the alleged perpetrator, hustler Tim Delling - but he too has been brutally murdered in the meantime. Although Delling's girlfriend Azhar is a possible witness, Vera and Jan are groping in the dark for the time being. At the same time, Vera is in danger of losing her objectivity when she unexpectedly discovers a connection between the current cases and her husband's death

The unexpectedly early death of a ten-year-old boy who suffered from a serious hereditary disease causes Vera Lanz a headache. When the investigation revealed that the boy had taken part in a series of drug tests and that important tissue samples had disappeared from the forensic department after his death, the alarm bells rang for the inspector. She is certain that someone is trying to cover up the truth surrounding the child's death.

After inspector Vera Lanz began investigating the case of the murdered public prosecutor Marc Berger, she found herself in increasing difficulties: she tried to hide her affair with the victim from her colleagues so as not to be targeted by the investigators herself. However, when it turns out that there is a connection between the current case and the murder of Vera Lanz's husband four years ago, the detective can no longer keep her private life out of the investigation.
