Plot summary
Eine morsche Grabstatue erschlägt den Friedhofsleiter − damit kann Heli Wondratschek (Nicholas Ofczarek) endlich das Ruder übernehmen und auf Friedhof Donnersbach für Ordnung sorgen. Aber der pedantische Vize hat die Rechnung ohne das Stadtamt gemacht. Den Chefposten erhält nicht er, sondern eine Vorgesetzte, die absolut keine Ahnung von Friedhof hat: Ursula Fink (Julia Jentsch). Chaos bricht aus. Skurril. Morbid. Drüber – auf dem Friedhof, dort wo das Team schnell zwischen die Fronten der beiden Chefs gerät. Und drunter – dort, wo die Toten das Drama drüber verfolgen wie eine Soap Opera. Die Dinge überschlagen sich, als klar wird: Friedhof Donnersbach soll schließen.no subject
