To celebrate his 60th birthday, Werner Gyllenmark holds a party at his beach hotel and invites his family, employees and even his arch-enemy, Egil Grip. But the event ends abruptly with an accident that shocks the entire town - and slowly but surely, explosive secrets emerge that some people will go to any lengths to keep hidden.
The night before Christmas Eve, while Sweden is paralysed by heavy snowstorms, five-week-old baby Lukas inexplicably disappears from his home in a Stockholm suburb. The young parents are in shock. But seasoned police officer Alice believes that something is not quite right in their stories. She becomes obsessed with the case. Other people become suspicious of Lukas' mother Jenni who took sleeping pills that night and doesn't remember a thing, a nurse who had expressed concerns about the baby's safety and Jenni's own mother Kajsa.
