He was an icon, flamboyant pianist, egomaniac, showman par excellence: Liberace - the King of Bling, led his life in the fast lanes between Hollywood, Las Vegas and Palm Springs. In the middle of the Californian desert, where Hollywood stars celebrated wild parties around private pools, he lived a paradoxical life of spectacle and secrecy, illusion and reality. His success is closely linked to the growing popularity of television and the American TV era. Scores of American housewives adored the musician who could play everything from jazz to classic. His public life was as paradoxical as his performances were glamorous. No other artist cultivated such an openly camp persona on America's biggest stages while at the same time vehemently refusing to come out as gay, a facade Liberace kept up until his death.

Die Serie spielt in einem kleinen, wirtschaftlich unauffälligen Retourencenter in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Dort leitet Susanne Krombholz (Stefanie Stappenbeck) das Unternehmen für den "guten Zweck" - die Gewinne wandern nämlich in die Taschen der Kolleginnen und Kollegen.
