Jeppe Kørner, on leave from the police force and nursing a broken heart, has taken refuge on the island of Bornholm. Also on the island is Esther de Laurenti, a writer working on a biography and coming to terms with her own crushing sense of loneliness in the wake of a dear friend's death. When Jeppe lends a hand at the island's local sawmill, he begins to realize that the island may not be the peaceful refuge it appears to be. Back in Copenhagen, Anette Werner is tasked with leading the investigation into a severed corpse discovered on a downtown playground. As she follows the strange trail of clues, they all seem to lead back to Bornholm. With an innocent offer to check out a lead, Jeppe unwittingly finds himself in the crosshairs of a sinister mystery rooted in the past, forcing him to team up with Anette and Esther to unravel the island's secrets.
