In this thrilling Norwegian drama, homicide detective William Wisting (Sven Nordin) wrestles with the most disturbing case of his career: an American serial killer at loose in the Norwegian town of Larvik, preying on young blonde women and keeping them captive in wells.

Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) plays FBI agent Maggie Griffin, who has been brought in to finally capture the infamous killer at large.

The stakes of Wisting’s case intensify dramatically when his daughter, an intrepid journalist, follows a story that leads her right in the serial killer’s path.
