On the evening of April 21, 2021, the Jönköping police receive a call from a woman who wants to report that her husband, a business executive in his 50s, is missing and cannot be reached. The next day, his car is found burning on the outskirts of Jönköping and just a few hours later the man is found dead, hidden in the Dumme Mosse nature reserve a few miles from the car. The investigation has gone from disappearance to murder and for the police, the difficult work of finding out and finding who murdered the popular business executive is now underway.

When 31-year-old mother Beata Ratzman in Malmö disappears in September 2021, a massive search operation is launched in which both the police and the public participate. However, the search is fruitless and despite several traces in various places around Skåne that can be linked to Beata, she remains missing. Malmö police are thus faced with an investigation that is both intricate and challenging in the search for answers to the mysterious disappearance.
