Springfloden alternates between the time lines of 1987 and 2011. The latter follows Police Academy Cadet Olivia Rönning and her work for a class assignment: She is tasked with unraveling the mystery of a cold case from 1987, one in which three people sadistically murdered a young woman on a Koster Islands beach - a killing that a young boy inadvertently witnessed. At that time, national homicide investigator Tom Stilton was unable to solve the case, since he couldn't ascertain the victim's identity, locate the murderers, or establish a motive for the killing. And so it was shelved. Fifteen years later, he took a new approach to the case, but a bruising divorce left Stilton in a fragile mental state that deteriorated even further. As Rönning digs through case files, she sorts out as much as she can, but there are still many questions left unanswered. What would really help her is getting input from the now-former detective, the homeless Stilton.

Olivia Rönning and Abbas el Fassi are affected by two different murders in two different cities, Marseille and Stockholm. They are each pulled into their respective cases, which are connected somehow. Customs agent Bengt Sahlman is found hanging dead in his home by his 17-year-old daughter Sandra. Olivia, just home from a long trip, passes Sahlman's home as Sandra comes running out of the house in panic. This becomes the prelude to Olivia's involvement in young Sandra's fate, which resembles Olivia's own: both of her parents are now dead. It is soon determined that the suicide was a murder, and the case lands on Mette Olsätter's desk. A blind woman is found brutally stabbed to death in Marseille. When Abbas sees a picture of the murdered woman, Samira, in a French newspaper, he recognizes the love of his life. Abbas decides to go to Marseille to find out what happened to her. He asks Tom Stilton, who has contacts in the Marseille police, to accompany him.
