Ten years have passed since Dr. Martin Gruber returned to Ellmau and took over the practice of his mentor, Roman Melchinger. Years full of happiness, but also years with setbacks and countless cases where life and death hung in the balance, not only in Martin's practice.

Could Martin have known back then, when he returned home after his sister-in-law's death, that Lilli wasn't his brother Hans's daughter, but his own? And how could he have guessed that he and Susanne, the innkeeper of the "Wilder Kaiser," would one day become a couple?

Martin discovered that family life on his parents' farm made him far happier than his surgical career in New York. And yet, he also had to let go. First Susanne. And finally Andrea. It took a long time before Martin was ready for a new love after her accidental death, and with Anne, the old feud between the Gruber and Distelmeier families resurfaced in Martin's life—and in his mother's. But a Gruber doesn't give up easily. And so, for all those years, Lisbeth and her sons fought tenaciously to preserve the Gruber farm. That this inevitably led to frequent arguments between Martin and Hans was unavoidable. But when, a few months after his separation from her, Hans brought Anne to the farm, Martin had had enough and moved out. Not least to avoid jeopardizing his new relationship with insurance agent Rike, whose son Lukas, suffering from borderline personality disorder, wasn't exactly making life easy for Martin either…

The farm, the practice, his private life – all of this demands a lot from Dr. Martin Gruber. And yet he is a doctor through and through, and in ten years his unwavering dedication has saved more than one life.
