Newly divorced journalist, Dicte Svendsen, returns to her hometown of Aarhus with her daughter Rose.

The police are put under increasing pressure, and they quickly throw the blame on Dicte.

To Wagner’s annoyance, Dicte is once again right in the middle of his investigation as authorities begin to find similarities in the murdered women of Aarhus.

When a newborn boy is discovered dead in Aarhus harbor, Dicte goes in search of its mother.

Wagner lets Dicte take part in the investigation of a kidnapped boy.
