The police receive a short film-sequence of a woman in a window. Someone must have been standing in the garden just outside her house to be able to film her. The next day the woman is found dead in her home, the vicious violence at the scene shocks even the most seasoned investigators.

A few days later, another film clip is sent to the police, but there’s no way of identifying the woman before she too falls victim to a brutal attack. When he finds her, the woman’s husband is so traumatised by the violent scene that he starts cleaning the house in a state of panic. He even washes the blood off his wife’s body, and puts her to bed, as if nothing is the matter.

His acute state of shock and short-term memory loss prevents the police from questioning him. Criminal psychiatrist Erik Maria Bark is called in to hypnotise the man in order to unlock his memories of the murder scene. What Erik Maria Bark uncovers in his sessions, makes him start lying to the police.

It’s clear that the case cannot be solved without the help of Joona Linna, the man who’s been missing since more than a year and is presumed dead.
