Hamburg 1835. Mit dem Export von Eis sind Katya und die anderen Eisbarone zu Vermögen gekommen. Das Geschäft floriert, doch in Katyas Ehe kriselt es, und ihr Kinderwunsch bleibt unerfüllt. Im Hamburger Gängeviertel trifft sie eines Tages auf die kleine Betje, die sie sofort in ihren Bann zieht - nicht nur wegen ihres brandroten Haars.

Katya beschließt, Betje bei sich aufzunehmen und ihr vielleicht sogar eines Tages das Geschäft zu überlassen.

Zusammen mit den ehrgeizigen Kaufmannsbrüdern Thilo und Christian gründen sie ein Handelsunternehmen. Der kühne Plan: das Eis des Nordens bis in die Tropen zu verschiffen.

Let's face it - many of the evils we manage on a day-to-day basis are not necessary.
