When local mining contractor Markus is attacked by what is thought to be an environmental activist, he hires former police officer Erik Bäckström to help identify the perpetrator. Erik's nephew Peter is a trainee police officer who is also involved in the investigation.

Erik wakes up at the hospital, but walks away to meet with Markus and the South Africans for bear hunting. When they get attacked by Benjamin in the hunting lodge, Erik understands that Benjamin has evidence on Markus.
