Description
A man falls to the ground and dies after using a cash machine. Shortly afterwards, a taxi driver is brutally murdered by two teenage girls who show no remorse. One girl escapes police custody and disappears without trace. A blackout covers half the country, and when an engineer discovers a gruesome sight at a malfunctioning power station, Inspector Kurt Wallander suspects these events are connected. As he delves deeper into the case, Wallander faces challenges within his own team and struggles with his role as a detective. The perpetrators seem to always be one step ahead of him, making it difficult for him to regain confidence in his abilities. The investigation unfolds against a backdrop of tension and uncertainty, forcing Wallander to confront the darker aspects of human nature.
