Forensic psychiatrist Fokke Augustinus threatens to lose it all, his job, his marriage and his family. When his father with whom he no longer has contact dies, he is the one who inherits Hollands Hoop. He sees a new chance for a restart of the Augustine family in distant Groningen. The discovery of a huge weed field on land is accelerating everything.

Hollands Hoop receives uninvited guests. A fatal accident immediately puts Fokke and Pepijn in danger. Fokke is faced with an almost impossible choice and is experiencing for the first time what it is like to negotiate with the highest level of commitment. Machteld doubts whether she should return to Hollands Hoop, but Lara gives her the last push she needs.

The harvest must be packed and collected. Fokke cannot use busybodies and must get rid of Machteld and the kids from Hollands Hoop. Pepijn sees his chance to show that he doesn't need his father to do business. Fokke shows his dark business partners for the first time what he is capable of and creates respect.

Fokke's lost money and Machteld's juicy find increase the distrust within the family. Machteld is attracting more to Anna now that she no longer trusts Fokke; this to the great pleasure of the alderman. Pepijn finds out that his rippers are in the area, looking for more. He hides this from his father and calls in the help of the unpredictable Bert, with all its consequences. Dimitri finally gets what he wants.

Fokke becomes increasingly entangled in the web of his own lies and sees only one way out: telling the truth. But what truth does he tell to whom? Pepijn gets heavily under the influence of Bert, until he gets to see his other side; a new insight as a result. Machteld has completely had it with Fokke's lies and tries to catch him red-handed with Anna. Fokke, Machteld and Pepijn come to the same conclusion.

Pepijn has come up with a solution, but it is not without risk. Fokke has a safer plan and is implementing it successfully. The discord that he manages to create between Sasha and Matthias is accelerating everything, but presents a new, more deadly danger. Dimitri feels betrayed by Fokke and wants to perform a drastic act.

Tensions in the Groningen countryside are running high. Fokke makes every effort to find his son Pepijn, but he must first visit Matthias, who is now at his most dangerous. In the meantime he tries to appease his wife Machteld, who starts to make the connections. Pepijn makes an adult decision that can sometimes make the difference between life and death.
