In a fjord community facing the closure of its only police station, detective Ole Vik gets an oddly timed new trainee whose arrival coincides with something far darker than small-town life should ever see.

Lucas, a teenage boy, moves to a small town in Norway from Stockholm, Sweden. He falls for Susanne, who is on the girl's football team and is dating the captain of the boy's football team. To get Susanne to like him he joins the boy's team so that he can travel to Oslo to participate in the Norway Cup, a large football tournament.
