Marc Borgman Koffler, a young police officer, is on a training course for the riot control unit. He is struggling at the police academy, being somewhat behind his peers in his physical training. Cocky and selfassured, Marc does not initially get along with his roommate at the academy, Kay Engel Riemelt. They have a physical confrontation during a training exercise, but afterwards Marc apologizes for his aggressive behavior and they become friends. The two begin jogging together regularly, and during one jog, Kay kisses Marc as they share a cigarette, though he tells him that it was merely a joke. A surprised Marc is reluctant to jog again, but on Kays insistence he goes on a run alone Kay catches up to him. Despite Marcs initial rebuffs, Kay kisses him and gives him a handjob. Though Marc initially accepts the advances, he is overcome with confusion and runs away. Though he tries to avoid Kay, the latter is transferred into his police unit to fill a vacancy and Marc finds it difficult to ignore him. Eventually Kay shows up with a colleague to a bowling alley where Marc and his family are having a game, and is introduced to Bettina, Marcs pregnant longtime girlfriend Bettina has just moved with Marc to a house near Marcs parents in order to start their family.Though Marc attempts to stay committed to Bettina and forget about Kay, he is unable to ignore his feelings and goes back to the jogging trail, where Kay is waiting for him. The two have sex in the rain, and as they wait for their clothes to dry, Kay tells Marc that he enjoyed it. The encounter makes Marc late for a maternity exercise with Bettina, who grows suspicious of Marcs activities. Meanwhile, Marc continues to have intimate encounters with Kay, spending nights with him under the guise of having night shifts, and Kay gives him a key to his apartment. Meanwhile, Marc finds himself less able to sexually perform with Bettina, which he explains is only due to her pregnancy. Marc and Kay later go to a gay bar
