Closing off a crime scene in the forest with a man's corpse - that underwhelms Ida Sörensen. Until the homicide squad from Esbjerg arrives, the patrol officer confidently expands her job assignment. To the chagrin of her conspicuously bad-tempered colleague Magnus Vinter, she begins investigating on her own. Inspector Frida Olsen is as astonished that Horik Holm was executed with two Viking arrows, as is the family background: The victim is the son of an underworld boss who comes from the tranquil coastal region. When Kort Holm arrives, he leaves no doubt that the perpetrator will be brought to justice. For Ida's colleague Magnus, the case is doubly tricky: not only does he know Holm better than he initially admits. A suspect, his own nephew Bjarne Vinter, is also close to him. Magnus and his colleague Ida must solve the mysterious murder and also protect Bjarne from Holm and his henchman Bech.
