Premise
[edit]Marina Kapov is a cleaner at a Zagreb police station and a single mother of three. Although she hides her exceptionally high IQ of 160, her talent becomes impossible to ignore after she accidentally solves a complex case that seasoned detectives failed to crack. Recognizing her abilities, the police hire her as a consultant, pairing her with inspector Tomislav Ramljak, a strict, rule‑bound investigator. Their contrasting personalities gradually turn into a strength as they work together to solve challenging crimes.

Production and release
[edit]RTL announced the series on 22 June 2026. It premiered on the network's streaming service Voyo on 24 July 2026 as the first Croatian Voyo original.[7] The police station set seen in the series was constructed inside the Vjesnikov neboder building in Zagreb. Filming concluded two weeks before the building was heavily damaged in a fire in November 2025 and subsequently demolished in June 2025, making the production the final instance of a Croatian television set being housed in the structure.[8]
