Two years since the notorious Nanna Birk Larsen case. Two years since Detective Sarah Lund left her position as an investigator with the Copenhagen police for an outpost in northern Denmark, where she lives a quiet life. Until the body of a lawyer is found under macabre circumstances in a military cemetery. Evidence from the crime scene takes the head of the Homicide Department, Lennart Brix, back to Denmark occupied during the war—a time his countrymen would like to forget.

Brix knows Lund is the only person she can trust to uncover the truth. Reluctantly, the investigator returns to Copenhagen and becomes intrigued by the facts surrounding the case. As more bodies are found, Lund notices a pattern and concludes that the killer's identity will be revealed once the truth behind a war mission comes to light.
