Plot
The 13-year-old Binny pulls reluctantly with her parents Wanda and Ronald of Hamburg in an old villa in Berlin-Pankow and there it finds that they have to share her room with an unwanted roommate: The 1899 born, but only 14 years old spirit Melchior. Melchior does not fit as in life, the Binny has featured in their new home Berlin. To get rid of Melchior, there is apparently only one solution: Binny must help him solve crimes and other small injustices, thus Melchior is freed from the ghosts existence. The "WG Reluctant" is the brilliant investigative team that solves a lot of exciting events - and friends who together have more fun than they ever imagined, let alone would voluntarily admit each other. Incidentally, the two try to find out more about Melchior's past and discover a big secret. And then also still takes the dubious Hubertus van Horas, with his assistant Bodo, Melchior track on.
