Night often has more stories to tell than day, more twisted and bizarre. "Night Shift" goes out to find them. What these cops bring back to the precinct are hard-hitting stories about characters that thrive in the dark. Marginalized, violent – the grittiest Hamburg has to offer. In "Night Shift" the focus isn't on the plot but on the atmosphere. What happens in the 12 hours of a night shift isn't just a case, but the world itself: love stories, action, social dramas, political or criminal corruption... There's room for all of this plus the classical crime plot. Heading the team are Erichsen, a burned-out cop; and clever police psychologist Lisa Brenner. What does a Hamburg night shift offer? A crocodile beneath the sofa, clash of cultures, cars in the air and lots of politically incorrect situations.
