Two years have passed since the t remendous events in Silver Height. Eva Thornblad has left Silver Height behind him and returned to the big city's gray concrete and his work within the Stockholm Police. She tries to move on but struggles with the sorrow after Josefin and the pain that the earthquake exposes her to. Soon Eva enters into a mysterious case related to her own past and she is forced to confront the mythological world she decided to leave.

Eva's investigation is wrapped in mystery as her work tears at old wounds. Goran Wass joins the Stockholm police charged with a mission from his organisation.

As the search for the missing girl continues, Eva and Wass find something of a personal nature - while Bahar becomes increasingly suspicious of the officers behaviour.
