It brings nothing but destruction and death to all.
Yrsa proves once again that he builds his stories on a very careful study of reality and reality can be harsh, especially when drugs, money and addiction get mixed in. Everything is even more complicated because Iceland is small. So small, in fact, that a bad decision here can come back on anyone with the speed and force of a devastating ball lightning bolt.
Dísa went on a fishing boat trip with her daughter Rosa and a work colleague. But the only catch instead of fish is an old broken doll from the seabed, which at first glance looks ominous.
Little Rosa feels sorry for the doll and wants to take it home. Dísa, who is not at all happy about it, finally allows it under the pressure of the situation. That evening, he posts a picture of the repulsive doll in the bathtub on Facebook, and in the morning... In the morning, the doll is gone. And Dísa is lying dead in the bathroom in a pool of blood.
Currently, a couple of young foreigners are going camping in the middle of Icelandic nature. They were hoping to find a pleasantly cool climate, the possibility of a cheap holiday and breathtaking footage to upload to social media. But somehow everything is different, and it seems that the decision to come here will cost them too much...
Detective Huldar's pretty cranky. He is now in one of his least favourite places - on a boat bobbing in the middle of a rough sea. Police are using the latest equipment to search for human remains on the seabed. However, the identification of the bones turns out to be much more difficult than everyone expected, and the police are also distracted by the brutal murder of a homeless man.
Freyja is close to Huldar again - the police have invited her to cooperate in a case of reported sexual abuse in a juvenile care home. And as it gradually turns out, several open cases have a common denominator. In all of them, somehow, the same clues keep appearing - the ominously staring doll - and the same witness - Rosa, a vulnerable and currently missing young girl who years ago longed so much for a doll fished out of the sea...
