Former detective, Hjerson, has just lost his mother; he boards a ferry to his hometown where he meets Klara, a TV producer; a mysterious murder occurs aboard the vessel and the unlikely pair launch an investigation.
Much to the ferry crew's displeasure, Hjerson and Klara continue to investigate the mysterious murder of a passenger; just as they settle in on a prime suspect, a tragic event throws Hjerson and Klara off course.
On the beach in Hjerson's hometown, a man donning a chicken costume has been brutally beaten and then suddenly disappears; Hjerson and Klara follow tracks to a location that brings back distant memories for Hjerson.
While heading for a peaceful swim, Hjerson finds himself in terrible danger; as the search for the beach suspect intensifies, the case also becomes increasingly personal for Hjerson.
An unpublished novel inspires a copycat murder at a restaurant; only five people, including the author, have read the work; the author contacts Hjerson and Klara to crack the case.
The unpublished novel inspires a second murder; although the killer appears one step ahead of them, after determining a motive, Hjerson and Klara zero in on a suspect.
