Alongside her partner Frederik Havgaard, new criminal profiling teacher Louise Bergstein takes the case of a gang member gunned down on his release from jail. Meanwhile, an ex-criminal is dragged back into his old ways.

Forensic evidence concludes that the same person killed Patrick and Pernille. As Louise and Frederik probe the link between the victims, an old gang-related double murder emerges, suggesting a potential quadruple killer.

In their search for Kim, a clue leads Louise and Frederik to Sweden. Meanwhile, Kim hides with his stepdaughter in a remote cottage. Louise and Frederik track Kim down, only to discover yet another devastating crime.

Under interrogation, Kim confesses to the old double murder and the killing of his girlfriend, but not to the murders of Patrick and Pernille. Dismantling Kim’s alibi, Louise has reason to come up with a new theory.
