La desaparición de la pequeña Linnea en las afueras de Fjällbacka despierta trágicos recuerdos. Treinta años antes se perdió el rastro de otra niña, Stella, en la misma granja, y al poco fue hallada sin vida. Entonces dos chicas adolescentes se confesaron culpables del asesinato. Los habitantes de Fjällbacka se organizan para buscar a Linnea y se preguntan con temor si otras niñas pueden estar en peligro. Mientras tanto, Patrick y su equipo investigan la conexión entre ambos casos. Además, una leyenda del siglo XVII sobre una madre que, acosada por los prejuicios y la superstición, trata de sobrevivir junto a su hija, parece tener una extraña relación con estas muertes.
