- An elite high school and the chaotic Leo-Weiß school are threatened with closure: the school ministry has decided to close one of two schools in town. In order to convince possible newcomers, the pupils and teachers of the Leo-Weiß-School want to draw attention to themselves with a musical about the legendary zombie virus that was rampant at the school a few years ago.
- Ten years after the virus outbreak that turned the students of Leo Weiss School to zombies, the government plans to shut down the school due to demographic issues, unless the amount of new registrations improves. A devastated Leo Weiss, now principal, turns to his teacher colleagues and students, hoping to save the beloved school from this grim fate. The young student and workaholic Mia suggests a musical play, as it could generate enough buzz to attract new students. The excited school community agrees to write and perform a play that tells the heroic tale of how Leo redeemed the zombies a decade ago. This does not sit too well with the conflicted principal, as he carries the secret of having been the one to have spread the virus in the first place, in order to become the town's new hero. Mia assists the incompetent teacher Hackebarth who directs the play. But things change for her when the dashing new student Kim shows up and auditions for one of the lead roles. It is love at first sight, but Mia fights to keep her focus on the play, as the school's fate depends on "Potato Salad" - the random title that the students and teachers have given the play. However, the closer Mia and Kim get during their overtime rehearsals, the more she realizes that there is something integral missing in her life. But now is the time to focus, not to have crushes. The plot thickens as the rehearsals seem to be sabotaged by someone who does not wish the desperate school to succeed. Who is the malevolent traitor? Could it be the arrogant student Franziska, who only joins the cast to make a name for herself rather that serve the greater good? Meanwhile, Leo seeks a way to face the past and set things straight, but he fears grave consequences. But his longtime friend, the psychiatrist Torsten, helps him realize that telling the truth can be an uncomfortable task, but it is the right thing to do.
