About the series

After the body of a woman is discovered on the Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, Swedish detective Saga Norén and Danish detective Martin Rohde are assigned to the case. What initially appears to be a single murder soon reveals a much more complex mystery, as the killer leaves cryptic clues and forces the investigators to uncover a disturbing hidden agenda. As the investigation unfolds, each new discovery leads to another unexpected connection. Set against the dark and atmospheric backdrop of Scandinavia, the series combines a gripping crime mystery with psychological drama and the evolving relationship between two very different detectives.
