The Bridge

A woman is found murdered out in the middle of the Øresund Bridge - right on the border between Sweden and Denmark. Saga Norén from Malmö CID and Martin Rohde from the Copenhagen police department are called to the scene. What at first looks like one murder, turns out to be two. The torso belongs to a well-known Swedish politician and the lower body is from a Danish prostitute.

The murderer, dubbed the ”Bridge Killer”, makes his presence known to the media and discloses that there is a purpose behind his crimes - to draw attention to five specific problems in society that everyone knows about but turns a blind eye to. So the murder on the bridge is just the beginning. Saga and Martin realise they are dealing with a ruthless killer who has been planning his crimes for many years.

A homeless man is kidnapped and the only thing that can stop the murderer from killing him is a large sum of money from four landlords.

The homeless man's survival becomes a race against time and depends completely on the four landlords' willingness to pay what the murderer demands.

The murderer has groomed a number of schizophrenic people over a long period of time, convincing them to commit carefully synchronized violent crimes in Malmo and Copenhagen on the same day.

Copenhagen is up in arms following a court case in which a group of police officers who beat an immigrant to death are found innocent.
