A series of rapes is shaking Uppsala. When one of the victims dies, the Stockholm National Commission is called in. However, the once well-coordinated team led by Torkel Höglund must first come together again and resolve personal conflicts. This is especially true when criminal psychologist Sebastian Bergman is brought into the case. Bergman has not been part of the team for a while, and his relationship with his daughter Vanja, who is primarily responsible for the investigations on-site, is strained. Despite internal disputes, the team uncovers evidence that the women were not chosen at random. However, a number of individuals seem determined to prevent the connection between the victims from ever coming to light.
