A six-year-old girl goes missing. She has been persuaded to ride along with a strange young man in a van. A little later, the police find the dead body of fifteen-year-old Annie Holland near a forest lake. She was covered with a windbreaker, but is completely naked underneath. Annie was a pretty girl, on whom many male neighbors apparently had an eye. However, she was dating Halvor, a quiet boy, somewhat older than her. According to Halvor, Annie had changed a lot in the last six months: she lived withdrawn and had become melancholic. In a village community where everyone knows each other, dark secrets lie behind seemingly normal family relationships. Inspector Sejer gradually uncovers the facts.
