After having success in Asia, businessman Aksel Borgen is asked back to his hometown in Norway to save an important local firm despite it being 20 years since he was sentenced and later acquitted for murdering his high school sweetheart.
While Lifjord is shaken by another tragedy, Aksel calls the police and demands his brother's release. The only people with a motive for killing Helene are William and Eva, who knew the truth and could expose their lies.
