Claire Lidman passed away fourteen years ago. So why does she appear in the background of a recent holiday photo taken in Venice?

Her husband brings the anomaly to Hans Rekke and Micaela Vargas. Initial skepticism gives way to cautious belief, but Rekke is falling apart again and Vargas has her own problems. Her gangster brother is threatening to silence her if she doesn’t leave him alone.

Meanwhile, Rekke's daughter Julia has a new boyfriend she’s determined to keep secret. He sees something in her she can’t see herself, but there are hints of a darker side. Most troubling of all, Rekke is hearing whispers of a name he hasn’t heard for years. A rival from his youth whose restless evil connects all the threads in this emerging case. The pieces are in place, and he’s already one step ahead. The game’s name is revenge.
