Five years ago, Alice Ejbye’s 18-year-old son Markus was murdered by a serial killer who was never found. Alice is now seriously ill and asks criminal profiler, Louise Bergstein, the daughter of her best friend, to help solve the case. At the same time, elsewhere on Funen, a man named Peter Vinge receives a fatal message from his wife Masja.
The series revolves around an unsolved case in which three young men were killed within a few months. One of the victims was Alice’s (Solbjørg Højfeldt) only son, 18-year-old Markus. Alice, who is an old friend of Louise’s (Natalie Madueño) mother and has now been diagnosed with terminal cancer, contacts Louise and asks her to help find her son’s killer before she dies.
Louise, an acclaimed criminal profiler, delves into the case without hesitation and initiates an intense investigation with the police. When another young man is found killed, Louise discovers a distinct pattern in the murders, but while hunting for the killer she overlooks that he is hiding in plain sight – and that their paths may intertwine in ways she didn’t think possible.
