Ten years later a girl shows up at the train station in Copenhagen. The local police contacts Signe Brask. The girl claims that she is the missing Mille and she wants to speak to Signe. Where has she been all those ten years? The girl refuses to say anything, and as Signe begins to look deeper into the old unsolved dissapearance. She soon discovers that there are several things that are not right. And while she is working on the case, the family in Holstebro is hit by another tragedy …
