It is New Year's Day 2008 when the soon-to-be 27-year-old, new mother Tubay Mavi disappears from her home in Uppsala. Despite the efforts of her family, led by her husband, they cannot find her. The only sign of life comes a few days later in the form of a mysterious text message to a relative in which Tubay asks to be left alone. But something is not right. And when a buried body is found in an outdoor recreation area, it turns out that the Uppsala police have a murder investigation on their hands.

It is just after 8:30 pm on April 4, 2016, when a jogger calls the police and claims to have seen a group of individuals wearing hoods assaulting and abducting a man at Slottstorget in central Gävle. The following morning, the police receive another call from a worried woman reporting her boyfriend missing. The police now begin to unravel a mystery that will turn out to be full of wounded relationships and honor-related revenge motives.
