A young woman is found seriously injured in the lifeguard tower on the beach of Tylösand. She has been brutally shot in the face in a way that causes both police and medical personnel to react. Surgeon Andreas Nylund thought he had seen most of it, but the sight shocks him too. Everything points to a suicide attempt, yet something is not right.

Andreas tries to stay out of the police investigation. He is busy with his work at the hospital and life with Stina and the children, and after a turbulent time, life has finally begun to feel safe again. But when yet another woman with gunshot wounds to her face is brought into the emergency room, the coincidences become difficult to explain away. Is there a targeted killer on the loose?

Slowly it dawns on Andreas that what unites the victims also leads to him.

With her long experience as a surgical nurse, the Anne-Marie Schjetlein, unfurls yet another nerve-wracking drama where the seconds between life and death are at the center. Brutal acts and murders can occur even in the most idyllic summer paradises.
