Episode 2

A murder on a storm-lashed Baltic island draws a grieving investigator and a retired officer into a web of espionage, betrayal – and forbidden love.

In Episode 2, following a violent attack, Pekka awakens in the hospital, haunted by fragmented memories and nightmares. As he pieces together the events surrounding a mysterious death, uncovered audio files hint at lovers, spies and secrets that could destabilise nations.

Pekka follows the clues - but someone is watching, and the danger is closer than he thinks.
