Detective William Wisting makes a terrifying discovery: a corpse among the spruces at a Norwegian Christmas tree farm is connected to a wanted American serial killer. Meanwhile, Wisting’s daughter Line is writing a news article on their reclusive next-door neighbor, Viggo, who sat dead in front of his TV for three months before being found.
Aided by FBI agents Maggie and John, Wisting tracks American serial killer Robert Godwin to a remote farm, but will they manage to keep their mission secret from the press before Godwin bolts? Line interviews Viggo’s old friends and uncovers some unsavory secrets about him.
Wisting and the FBI suspect serial killer Godwin could be linked to 12 other missing person cases in Norway. Convicted killer Vidar Haglund is released from prison after 17 years and comes to confront Wisting. Line attends Viggo’s funeral, and new clues raise suspicions about his death.
Line’s obsession with the Viggo case leads to a fight with her father. With the press hot on their heels, Wisting and the FBI agents discover more corpses, as pressure mounts to catch the serial killer. FBI agent John makes a mistake that will have grave consequences.
The Viggo and Godwin cases cross paths, and the hunt for the serial killer intensifies as Wisting’s worst nightmare becomes a reality.
Just as Wisting is hailed a national hero for solving the Caveman case, he faces accusations of evidence tampering in a previous murder case, leading to Vidar Haglund’s potentially wrongful conviction. Line tries to keep her father out of the headlines by chasing a news story on a recent murder.
