Anja ist mit großer Begeisterung und viel Ehrgeiz Feuerwehrfrau, sie ist gewissenhaft und zuverlässig. Allerdings tut sie sich schwer, Entscheidungen zu treffen.
The two women are very different: one is a control freak and weak in decision-making, theory-fixated and risk-averse, while the other is daredevil, tough and used to taking things into her own hands. But despite all their differences, Anja and Meike pull together. They have to, because they have to deal with a shortage of staff and the troop is struggling to find team spirit. More than once, they have to jump over their own shadows and face their own greatest fear. A relationship of trust develops between the two women - until Anja makes a momentous mistake.
