Twenty-four years ago Katharina Haugen went missing.
All she left behind was her husband Martin and a mysterious string of numbers scribbled on a piece of paper.

But now Martin Haugen is missing too.
As Wisting prepares to investigate another missing person's case he's visited by a detective from Oslo. Adrian Stiller is convinced Martin's involved in another disappearance of a young woman and asks Wisting to close the net around Martin.
But is Wisting playing cat and mouse with a dangerous killer or a grief-stricken husband who cannot lay the past to rest?
