Finn Kiesewetter and Elke Rasmussen are celebrating their first anniversary. But the fun doesn't last long, as a call from the police station interrupts them. Finn has to go to a farm; a young woman has been found dead in a field. She was killed with a heavy open-end wrench, the kind used to repair old farm machinery. Questioning of the deceased Anna Bruns's family reveals that she married the much older farmer Karl Bruns just a few weeks ago. They are an unusual couple and met through the television show "Farmer in Love." Farmer Bruns is deeply shaken. His mother, who doesn't speak kindly of her daughter-in-law during police questioning, still lives with him on the farm. But would she have even had the strength to murder the young woman? The investigation also focuses on Anton Mohr, the Bruns' friend and neighbor, who played Karl's rival on the television show and lost. Jealousy and envy are strong motives for murder. And apparently, there was another point of contention between the two friends: Due to the planning of a major road construction project, their land had suddenly increased in value. Anton was willing to sell, but Karl wasn't. And someone else had a strong interest in Anna: Before her marriage, she had worked as an intern at the small private broadcaster "Holstein TV." Her boss there, Maik Hunke, allegedly made her a lucrative offer for a new show, which she declined. But is that enough of a motive for murder?
