Synopsis

Four friends visited the island. But only three returned ...

Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdottir is sent to the isolated island of Ellidaey to investigate a disappearance.

But she finds haunting similarities to an old case - the murder of a young woman ten years ago.

Has a patient killer struck again?

Hulda is soon caught in a web of deceit, convinced everyone is lying, even those closest to her.

What secrets is the island hiding?

And what price will she pay for uncovering the truth?
