A few days earlier, Henrik and Isabelle set off on their first sailing trip together since becoming parents to ten-month-old Olivia. At the same time, a young man, Sebastian, is on his way home after a party in the archipelago. He is determined to take control of his messy life when he gets a tough phone call. He must complete one last dangerous mission. When Sebastian’s path crosses with Henrik and Isabelle in the outer archipelago, dark secrets surface, and it is the start of several terrible days.
