Detective Elínborg, already struggling to balance family life with the relentless demands of her job, is assigned the case while Detective Erlendur is away. As she delves into the victim’s past, Elínborg uncovers a sordid story of double lives, drug dealers, and the unresolved disappearance of a young girl many years earlier.
