Six months after young Julie Vinding disappeared from a Copenhagen suburb, investigator Jan Michelsen is the only one who believes that she is still alive. He unearths a ten-year-old case from the same neighbourhood in which 17-year-old girl Natasha disappeared on her way home from a party. Jan finds her remains in a lake and suspects a link between the two cases so brings in an expert on serial killers, Louise Bergstein.

Jan and Louise’s investigation into Natasha’s death leads them to suspect Anders Kjeldsen, a man who has been arrested before for violent crimes including rape. Trapped in a basement, Emma tries to comfort a traumatised Julie, but soon needs comforting herself.

Jan and Louise find an unsolved murder case in Sweden that is similar to Natasha’s, but in this one the victim’s ring finger was cut off. Louise doesn’t believe that the murder was committed by Anders Kjeldsen. Meanwhile, on a farm that Anders Kjeldsen stayed at as a child, the police find three women, all of whom have had their fingers cut off. Stine is forced to help Anders with the women in the basement who are planning to escape.
