With shifting alliances and brutal confrontations, no one is safe in this high-stakes battle.

Stockholm detective Hanna Ahlander (Carla Sehn) heads to the scenic ski town of Åre for a break from her troubled career and personal life.

Teaming up with reluctant local officer Daniel Lindskog (Kardo Razzazi), she unravels a sinister mystery hiding beneath the town’s peaceful façade.
