Eine Kleinstadt in Jütland wird von rätselhaften Vorfällen erschüttert: Auf dem Friedhof wird eine Leiche gestohlen. Eine alte Frau verschwindet spurlos aus ihrem Zuhause. Und ein kleines Mädchen wird aus dem Kindergarten entführt. An allen Tatorten findet die dänische Polizei seltsame Schriftzeichen – handelt es sich etwa um einen Serientäter? Aber was ist sein Motiv? Die Kindergärtnerin Eva kann nicht länger zusehen, wie die Zeit für das verschwundene Mädchen abzulaufen scheint.

Eva Hegner is doing her best to hold it together. She recently gave birth to a stillborn daughter, and shortly after that, her once athletic husband became inexplicably paralyzed from the neck down. The past twelve days have been filled with visits to the hospital and the cemetery and with taking care of her husband’s every need. And then the police show up. A grave has been vandalized, the corpse missing.

A buried corpse disappears. A child is kidnapped. A woman suddenly vanishes. The only clue - mysterious Chinese symbols; left behind at each of the crime scenes in a provincial town in Northern Denmark. In the eye of the storm is Eva. After suffering a deeply sorrowful tragedy - where her long-awaited daughter is stillborn - Eva is fighting to get her life back on track together with her husband who recently, and inexplicably, became paralyzed and is now unable to take care of himself. In an attempt to escape her grief, Eva embarks on her own investigation to find out who is behind these violent crimes.
