Hilja Ilveskero is hired as a bodyguard to social media influencer Elise Selin. Selin has been receiving death threats since taking up commercial collaboration with a questionable company.

Hilja’s new employment takes her to Leysin in Switzerland, the majestic mountains of which are familiar to her from many years ago. Then, an accident occurs – or was it an attempted murder?

Having returned to Finland, Hilja is caught up in a mystery that forces her to confront her past and question everything she’s ever known. Who is ultimately the prey and who is the hunter? Has Hilja inadvertently gotten involved in events so complex that they are impossible to survive?
