An elderly woman is found dead in Kristinestad, malnourished, dirty, and abused. She’s wearing the socks of the local nursing home, but the people there don’t recognise her. No one knows who she is.

Mats, the local police officer, starts investigating the case with his team, but establishing the identity of the murder victim proves tricky. Mats also has issues in his personal life, and same goes for the journalist Eevi, who struggles to get pregnant. While Eevi uncovers harsh truths about the treatment of the elderly in Kristinestad, Mats and his team find another abused woman fighting for her life. Just as everything is heating up, Mats discovers a personal connection to the case he never saw coming.

Kristinestad, a postcard-perfect Finnish coastal town where guilt simmers beneath the calm. Tight-knit, bilingual, and built on silence, it's a place where people disappear — emotionally and literally.
