Rudolf Haglund, who served 17 years for the murder of Cecilia Linde that shocked all of Norway, is released. He immediately declares that the case was fabricated by the police, and the main evidence was planted. And judging by the fact that one of the best lawyers in the country is taking on the case, these are not empty words. An unprecedented scandal is brewing, and now a real hunt begins for detective William Wisting, who led that investigation and sent Haglunn to jail. On the one hand, there are journalists greedy for sensations, on the other, an ambitious lawyer, and on the third, participants in an internal police investigation. All of them are like hound dogs trying to overtake their prey. But Wisting himself is from this breed. He, like no one else, knows how to track down criminals and get to the bottom of the truth. But there is very little time left, because a new corpse has appeared, and a young girl has disappeared. Wisting and his daughter, journalist Line, are sure that all these are links in one chain that goes far into the past. We need to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and understand what William Wisting missed 17 years ago.
