What’s It About?

Unable to resist, Hanna jumps back into action and teams up with local detective Daniel Lindskog (Kardo Razzazi). Their investigation soon unearths dark secrets hiding beneath Åre’s peaceful surface.

Netflix’s official synopsis teases: “In a snowy town in Sweden, two detectives team up to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of a teenage girl, a network of human traffickers, and devastating family secrets.”
