After his divorce, sports store owner Ralf is looking for a new purpose in life - and a new love. But is there anyone in Marburg he doesn't know? Bookseller Maria encounters an old rival - both her affair Max, and her father are just waiting for her to lose her temper. Things escalate - and lead to a surprising encounter.

After the argument with Johanna Augustin, Maria decides to write a book herself - easier said than done. And then her former best friend Nikki gets in touch. Maria avoids her problems and invites herself to go bowling with Sophie and her friends. Ralf spends the evening with his daughters, Lily and Lotta, trying to save what's left of his family.
