How does someone feel when they suddenly find out that they are not their parents' son? A world collapses for the up-and-coming star lawyer Max when the Prater landlady Gabi introduces herself as his birth mother at his engagement party. Max gets out and tries to build a new life. In the process, he finds new friends and a new love far away from his family's luxury villa - between the Prater inn, Danube boatmen and racecourse. His greatest opponents are the influential, unscrupulous father - also a lawyer - and his own short temper. But Max has learned to fight - "Now more than ever".
