About the series
A French citizen is brutally murdered in the small Swedish town of Kiruna, prompting French detective Kahina Zadi to travel north to investigate. What initially appears to be an isolated crime soon reveals a much darker connection to the local community and secrets that some people are desperate to keep hidden. As Kahina teams up with Swedish police officer Anders Harn, the investigation takes an increasingly disturbing turn. More victims emerge, and the truth leads deep into the past, where old secrets, hidden motives, and a series of chilling crimes begin to come together.
