The premise
Kahina Zadi, 32, a French police officer travels to Kiruna in Sweden to investigate the bestial murder of a French citizen. Together with Anders, a Swedish prosecutor of Sami origin, she begins an investigation. Soon new killings start to happen and the first victim turns out to be the tip of a very dark iceberg. The victims seemingly have nothing in common more than that they are all being killed in a well-planned and vicious manner. In their hunt for the truth, both Kahina and Anders are forced to deal with their own past that they have repressed. A personal journey through a painful past becomes the key to succeed in preventing the violent killings that affects the small mining community of Kiruna.
Horror Vault's take
When a French citizen turns up brutally murdered in the remote Arctic mining town of Kiruna, Paris detective Kahina Zadi is dispatched to Sweden and paired with local prosecutor Anders — a man carrying wounds of his own. As the body count rises, the two investigators discover the killings are connected by something far more disturbing than circumstance. Set against the unnerving backdrop of Sweden's unending polar daylight, the series is as much a psychological portrait of its detectives as it is a procedural hunt for a methodical killer.
