The technology group Lindemann is testing self-driving cars that are about to be launched on the market. One evening a woman dies on an unauthorized test drive. A lawyer and a dropout want to clarify the case.

The billion-dollar Lindemann Group has set itself the goal of bringing the first self-driving car to market. During an unauthorized test drive, a fatal accident occurs. Up-and-coming corporate lawyer Nora Shaheen, initially entrusted with the case, encounters another threat during her investigation: teenage dropout Jenny, who has an agenda on her own.

“Anyone who exercises patience and appreciates the design, the stylish dark look and the harmonious setting will be rewarded with a story that is as formally exciting as it is fascinating in terms of content. ‘Breaking Even’ is plot-driven and combines a popular genre tale with the darkest chapter of German history.” – Tittelbach.tv

“The series does a lot of things very well: the look is contemporary, dark and cool, the music is atmospheric and the cast is really good and casually diverse. ‘Breaking Even’ ends with a cliffhanger that makes you want a second season – and more insights into the lives of the two series heroines.” – BR24

“ZDFneo had finally achieved a ‘Netflix moment’ with the powerful and dark crime series.” – Der Spiegel
