Straight Forward

Danish con-woman Sylvia Petersen secretly works with her father, Des, in his stolen-goods operation, but her world is turned upside down when he is murdered in cold blood. Believing crime kingpin Ravn ordered the hit, Sylvia decides to take revenge on him.

Sylvia arrives in New Zealand and secures an apartment above a café in exchange for working at the bar, while her mother, Lisbeth, and daughter, Ida, retreat to a safe house in Denmark. After being put on mandatory leave, Detective Qvist embarks on his own inquiry.

Ravn captures Ida and issues Sylvia an ultimatum: come back within 24 hours, or Ida will be killed. In New Zealand, Sylvia races against the clock to organize an exchange of incriminating files against Ravn to save her daughter, while at the same time convincing Ravn and Qvist that she’s still in Denmark.

Safe but worried about her father, Gillard, Ida tries to contact him, despite Lisbeth’s warnings that he may have sold them out to Ravn. While Ida prepares to leave Denmark, Sylvia gets closer to Adam.

With no other leads on Sylvia’s whereabouts, Ravn reaches out to Qvist with evidence of her multiple identities. Sylvia and Ida help Adam organize a fundraiser, while New Zealand detectives pressure Gillard for information under the threat of deportation.

After nearly being caught by Ravn’s associate Karmen, Sylvia and Ida make plans to escape, but Sylvia is reluctant to get Adam involved. Despite the risk, Lisbeth refuses to leave Denmark until Des is laid to rest.
