1944. Stockholm. A brutal murder is committed in a notorious neighborhood. One of the first to arrive on the scene is Elsie Svenns, a young girl who has recently joined the police force. The murderer is in no hurry to escape from the police, and when Elsie gets in his way, her fate is already predetermined ...
Thirty years later, Britt-Marie Udin, one of the first female detectives in Sweden, begins to investigate a complicated case. The crime scene makes her shiver: everything reminds her too much of the nightmare of her past: years ago, her mother died in this slum, nicknamed The Swamp. The perpetrator has stayed true to his style. Only this time, the victim survived. Her coworkers don't take Britt-Marie seriously, but she's a force to be reckoned with, and it seems she's about to get closer to solving the case. But her tenacity is not enough to take the fight to a ruthless killer. The criminal slips away, and with him disappears and Britt-Marie. In the 80s, her mysterious disappearance begins to raise questions. It seems the so-called Swamp Killer has reemerged. Another murder, after all these years. The cops turn to Hannah, a profiler, hoping she can help them get on the trail of the culprit. But all to no avail, the killer is elusive. And now it's 2019. Malin Brundin takes on the case, on her shoulders the weight of responsibility, she is responsible to the victims of the Swamp Killer. After all, for so many years, women who have reclaimed their place in a world indiscriminately belonging to men, single-handedly lead the hunt for the shadow. Will the killer slip away again?
