It doesn't get much more colorful than the Berlin garbage collection service: "Captain" Werner Träsch's team includes a trained theologian with a truck driver's license. Former pastor Matthias is surprisingly strong. "Motte", as Werner and his colleague Tarik call the new guy after his successful debut, is well received in the small-town neighborhood. However, he can't ignore the fact that the newcomer is in trouble for long: his ex-girlfriend Anna makes it impossible for him to see his five-year-old daughter Lotte, despite having joint custody. When he confides in his colleagues, the captain and Tarik learn about Anna's unfair tricks to denounce the desperate father to the youth welfare office. To help Motte, the garbage collectors ignore fair play. Specki also has to integrate a newcomer with a troubled past into the team. Ex-con Danny does his job perfectly, but keeps his distance. When an expensive cell phone goes missing from Gabi's shop, the former criminal comes under suspicion. Now the garbage collectors have to put aside their prejudices to solve the case.
