Betrayal

In betrayal, there are no punishments and rewards, there are only consequences.

In Betrayal , Eva and Henrik have been together for 15 years and have a son named Axel. After a long, stagnant marriage, Eva discovers that Henrik is having another relationship. When her husband denies his infidelity, she considers the lie an unforgivable betrayal, and anger and desperation drive Eva to seek revenge.

In a hospital room, Jonas has been mourning his girlfriend in a coma for two and a half years. Since an accident, he's been caring for Anna, but now the desire to have someone grows stronger every day and consumes him. Disappointed with Anna—who refuses to wake up, who won't touch him, who abandons him once again—and overwhelmed by his own dark history of betrayal and his search for acceptance, he sees in Eva a chance to start over. So he entrusts Eva with his future, embarking on a turbulent romance that could have disastrous consequences.

Betrayal exposes the pain of disappointment and shows how destructive behavior can lead to unpredictable consequences.

With her talent for unearthing bodies and skeletons from our minds, exposing dark aspects of society, Karin Alvtegen has earned the title of queen of Swedish noir.
