Detective Naia Thulin navigates professional exhaustion and her daughter's resentment while investigating the murder of Zara Solack, who was terrorized by encrypted texts quoting a vicious children's rhyme. The high-profile case forces a tense reunion with Europol agent Mark Hess, whose previous abrupt departure left deep emotional scars. As the pair untangle Solack's digital footprint, a grieving mother, Marie Holst, uncovers hidden details in her deceased daughter's past. The threat escalates exponentially when the forensics unit discovers identical rhyme-based messages targeting multiple citizens, signaling a systematic, expanding hunting ground that mirrors an old marshland homicide.
