Nothing is what it seems during this brief meeting in an empty night shop. When Claire has to carry out a silly assignment from her sorority, Hafid is standing behind the counter. The serious looking Amsterdam guy seems to give her a taste of her own medicine. The question soon arises who is manipulating who. One thing is certain: after those few minutes when the lives of these completely different people intersect, everything will be forever different.

A successful vascular surgeon is suddenly confronted with a blood phobia, making it impossible for him to exercise his job in the hospital. He moves from the capital to the countryside to work as the GP of a village where he only knows his aunt. His predecessor was well liked, so his new community is less than welcoming. The empathic capabilities of the doctor leaves much to be desired, making it even harder for him to win his place in the close-knit community.

Former Amsterdam police detective Floris Wolfs has been transferred to the police department of the south-Dutch country town Maastricht. His metropolitan experience nicely complements the local expertise of his new country colleagues, who know the folks. Slowly he fits in, while solving countless crimes together with his female partner Eva van Dongen.
