In a sleepy little town somewhere in North Rhine-Westphalia, police officers Deniz (Erkan Acar) and Rocky (Adrian Topol) have almost nothing to do, nor do married couple Netti (Sanne Schnapp) and Hagen (Alexander Hörbe). Then Tina (Sina Tkotsch) turns up unexpectedly. She was assigned to begin closing down Station 23 for lack of crime, the colleagues here are apparently considered expendable. To save their jobs, the officers decide to switch sides and commit crimes themselves. Klaus (Bjarne Mädel), a homeless man, is someone they can blame for one thing or another. Tina soon becomes suspicious of the soaring crime rate. To distract from themselves and to gain time, Deniz and his colleagues pretend to be investigating anything and everything, and come across a hot lead in an unsolved case of art theft. This is a detective comedy about love, friendship, and self-determination and about the difficult handling of boundaries in the interpersonal sphere.
