On a sunny summer day, a man who spent most of his life there comes out of prison. Now you can take the bus and return home, where everyone has already forgotten and forgiven everything. But was there anything to forgive?..A year later, Inspector Van Weuteren begins an investigation into a case related to a terrible discovery in the forest. All the threads lead to the distant past, when Shakespearean passions were in full swing in a small Swedish village. In order to restore justice, the inspector will have to go to great lengths and constantly remember that evil is many-sided and inventive.
