To ensure justice again at the side of "his" judge Dr. Julia Kellermann at the district court, the lay judge Charlie Menzinger must first of all ensure that her transfer to the Bavarian Pampa is reversed. Because a bond has developed between the two of them over the past few months that leaves him hoping for more. But before the budding love between the two gets its chance, Julia's ex Nico von Blomm shows up. But it's not just Nico, but the judge's potential appointment to the Munich Regional Court that threatens to tear Charlie and Julia apart. He must do everything in his power to throw Nico out of the running and win Julia over.
