The severed halves of two corpses placed at the exact middle of the Öresund Bridge – one half in Denmark, the other in Sweden – brings together two unique investigators: the emotionally challenged Swede Saga and the womanizing Danish family man Martin. After solving the case, which penetrated the highest levels of the two nations’ government and society, Saga and Martin are reunited when a ship crashes into the bridge and the Coast Guard finds Swedish and Danish youths chained below deck. The case turns deadly when the youths fall ill: they’ve been infected with an extremely aggressive and contagious form of pneumonic plague… Apart from their clashing work styles, Saga and Martin also struggle with domestic problems. The amazing success of this Scandinavian thriller’s first season and of its two charismatic protagonists has given rise to a second season.
