Nord bei Nordwest: Käpt'n Hook

SINOPSIS

Retired city cop Hauke Jacobs starts a new career as veterinarian in Ostsee small port town Schwanitz, where he bough a home boat. The only local vet dies from a suicidal car-dive in the canal before Hauke's eyes at arrival, despite local 'chief' cop Lona Vogt after him. So unconventional, in-living practice assistant Jule Christiansen is hired as Hauke takes over the patients. Beach-strolling, Jacob discovers a stranded fishing boat, aboard of which are parrot Käpt'n Hook and two corpses, the first in the (Lübeck) area in decades. Drowning in inexperience, Vogt commandeers reluctant Hauke's expertise. The case turns international: two Latvian ferry passengers are reported missing, in fact au pair-girls tracked down by human traffickers Matthias Keller and Viktors Berzins and hiding with local widower farmer Thorsten Riemann, being observed by Turkish tramp Mehmet Ösker.
