In an apartment in Oslo, a corpse in an advanced state of decomposition is discovered. The police investigation will uncover macabre findings: the victim turns out to be a tomb raider who collected "trophies." And among them is the skull of the dead wife of Inspector Yuna Linna.
A few days later, a German police officer requests Yuna's help in solving a murder case in Rostock. And then what initially seemed like a nonsensical intuition transforms into a terrifying certainty. The notorious serial killer Jurek Walter has returned. The inspector knows there is only one thing left for him to do: to protect his daughter at all costs. And he cannot count on the help of his colleagues, as no one shares his paranoid theories.
Who would be afraid of a ghost? But not everyone sees the same reality. When the dead return, some believe in miracles, while others relive their worst nightmares.
