On a cold winter morning, a man is discovered drifting in a boat off the coast of Singö. A couple walking their dog manage to get him ashore. The man doesn’t speak Swedish and is barely conscious but wants to talk to the police immediately.

A wave of brazen thefts hits Norrtälje and the surrounding area and when several colleagues request time off, Detective Inspector Solbritt Andersson feels the pressure.

Her son is visiting but suffers a terrible accident and one morning her car breaks down on a dangerous stretch of country road. Husband Rune is obsessed with electric cars and solar cells and granddaughter Isabelle undergoes a dramatic birth.

She finds a popular course in stress management at the organization New Light, which has just established itself on Singö. Many are attracted to their message of personal development and harmony.

But nothing is as it seems.
