The drugstore chain "Faber" is facing closure: company boss Max Faber has lost so much money through stock speculation that planned insolvency seems to him to be the only sensible way out. The jobs of all employees are at stake, but the chain's founder cares as little about this as he does about the modernization proposals of his own daughter Kerstin, who has always played second fiddle in the company empire. Fate brings Kerstin and Janine, one of the sales assistants in a branch, together, and together they take action against the redundancies and exploitative measures of Max Faber. But the highly explosive power struggle between father and daughter is far from over.
