A young woman’s body is found in the fjord. Lena Ekström must team up with Oslo detective Aksel Karlin to investigate a trail of controversies, startling videos and arcane secrets.

The body of a young woman, Rose Smith, lies in the icy waters of the fjord. Who put her there?

Forensics suggest a brutal killing. When it emerges the victim is a British citizen, Lena is teamed up with hotheaded Oslo detective Aksel Karlin to investigate Rose’s death. Clues from Rose’s online life reveal she was onto something, and a startling new video suggests a connection with Lars Vikstad - son of powerful landowner Henrik Vikstad. Lena must confront troubled relationships new and old as the secrets of Wolf Valley begin to stir, revealing just how dark its shadows truly are.

The second episode of a compulsive Nordic noir in which old legacies and dark purposes are drawn together in an isolated valley town.
