A desperate father. A raped and murdered boy. A city where everyone seems to know but everyone lies.
Disgraced police detective Ewert Truut returns to the Stockholm office after reassignment on one condition - that he take on cold cases and solve them.
To his chagrin, Truut discovers that he is part of a team and not allowed to work alone. Their first case is baffling and the team is not welcome in the small town. Who knows the truth about Mattia's death ten years ago - the boy's mother, the gym teacher, the former police chief or the gangster-turned-lawyer?
