Nora's daughter, Annabelle, has disappeared, last seen on her way home from a party. Gullspång's inexperienced police are wilting under the national media spotlight - and its residents desperate for answers. Stockholm DI Charlie Lager must return home to find Annabelle and then get out of town as soon as she can. Before everyone discovers the truth about her....

A tragic past. Thirty years ago, the body of a teenage boy was found in Gullspång's lake, and his best friend vanished from her home. Paul Bergman's death was ruled a suicide; Francesca was never found. An unsolved case. Drawn back to Gullspång, Detective Inspector Charlie Lager is haunted by the strange house she knew as a child, and by the missing girl who once lived there. Convinced that the original investigation was flawed, Charlie is determined to uncover what really happened all those decades ago.

In Karlstad, nine-month-old Beatrice is missing from her pram. Her parents are in shock and the media is in a frenzy. DI Charlie Lager is struggling with her own demons when she's called to investigate, forced to push them aside as the case intensifies. As lead after lead goes nowhere, Charlie starts to feel like nobody actually wants the truth to come out about Beatrice as reluctant locals shut down in the face of her questions. And with each passing hour, the chance of finding Beatrice alive becomes less and less likely....

La peculiar investigadora criminal de la policía de Estocolmo, Charlie Lager, es enviada allí para hacerse cargo del caso junto a su compañero Anders Bratt: es la mejor y nunca abandona un caso. Para Charlie, sin embargo, no se trata de un caso más, sino de un viaje en el tiempo, ya que se ve obligada a regresar al pueblo en el que nació, al lugar que dejó cuando tenía catorce años, a un pasado y a una infancia de la que hizo todo lo posible para escapar. De nuevo en casa, los recuerdos - y las pesadillas - cobran vida.

Es ist ein heißer Sommer in Gullspång. In der in den schwedischen Wäldern gelegenen Kleinstadt geht das Leben seinen Gang bis eines Nachts nach einer aus dem Ruder gelaufenen Party die 17-jährige Annabelle verschwindet. Das Dorf ist in Schockstarre, und die überforderte Polizei ruft nach Verstärkung. Stockholm entsendet seine fähigste Ermittlerin: Charlie Lager. Was niemand weiß: Charlie ist in Gullspång aufgewachsen. Nie wieder wollte sie an diesen Ort zurückkehren, der nur schlechte Erinnerungen für sie bereithält.
