Denmark, 2014. A former police officer asks Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, to find out who brutally killed his young twins in 1994. Although a local inhabitant confessed and was convicted of murder, Carl and his partner Assad soon realize that there is something in the case resolution that is terribly wrong.
Danish police procedural tension thrives in this cold investigation into a decades-old double homicide. When a settled conviction begins to crumble, the pursuit of the truth unearths a much more sinister pattern.
