As the team of investigators work on solving Hella’s disappearance, Kessler realizes just how little he knew about his former co-worker’s life. The team is also investigating the death of 15-year-old Viviane, found in the woods by her friend Charlotte Broder after what looks like a drug overdose. Kessler had originally intended to return to Nordholm for purely personal reasons, to further his relationship with Silke Broder, but she now has entirely different issues to deal with after her daughter Viviane’s death.
