The story is centered on police detectives Karin Kofler (until 2014), replaced by Nina Pokorny, and Lukas Roither. The team solves complicated murder cases in and around Kitzbühel, many of which involve members of the rich and powerful, common in the resort town. Kofler's father is an amateur detective who often joins the investigations.
Produced primarily for a German market, the language spoken in the series is very close to High German, while in reality, Southern Bavarian is predominant in Tyrol, where Kitzbühel is located. Viennese German and some other Austrian dialects are also spoken in the series, but never the local one.[5]
