When Hanna Duncker was nineteen, her father was convicted of murder. Shame and confusion caused her to flee the island of Öland and build a new life elsewhere. Only sixteen years later, after her father's death, she returns to her hometown to work as a detective for the Kalmar police, on the other side of the strait.

On her first day, she and her partner Erik Lindgren are sent to a crime scene on Öland where the body of a fifteen-year-old boy has been found. The boy turns out to be the son of her childhood friend. The case attracts the attention of many residents, not all of whom appreciate Hanna's return, as evidenced by the threatening, anonymous phone calls she receives. What exactly is going on on the island?
