A corpse is discovered near the cliffs of Gotland: Elisabeth Nygren, whom no one seemed to have known... It is unclear what role her 12-year-old daughter Fippa played in her mother's death. While the inspectors are still busy identifying the corpse, Fippa is on her own, fleeing desperately and committing thefts to obtain food. She then finds refuge in a children's home, but there, too, she is threatened by a man whom the police know well. Meanwhile, Lena Hofelt is looking forward to the birth of her adoptive child; less delighted is her husband Tobias. Suddenly Fippa surprises Lena and threatens her with a knife. Then she disappears again, and now it's not only the inspector who's looking for her, but Tobias as well, who seems to have known the murder victim Elisabeth better than anyone else...
