In 2008, Dagný, the girlfriend of the young Hjörtur Stefánsson, died in a fire in a cold store on the Icelandic coast shortly after they had made love. The main story begins seven years later. While a Danish ferry is entering the port of the Icelandic coastal town of Seydisfjordur , fishermen accidentally find a male torso in the fjord at the end of which the town is located . Police chief Andri Ólafsson assumes that the killer is still on the ferry and therefore prevents the passengers from getting off the ferry. The police check of the passenger list reveals that Jonas Malakauskas, a previously convicted Lithuanian trafficker , is on board . Because of a heavy snowstorm, the Reykjavík police officers who have been called to investigate further can not come to Seydisfjordur. Therefore, and because the ferry captain turns off the heating on the ferry due to a lack of fuel, Andri has no choice but to let the passengers land. Jonas, who is transporting two dark-skinned women in his trailer, fled from the police, but was caught and imprisoned by Andri and his colleagues shortly afterwards.

The police determine that Hjörtur entered as an employee of the ferry and is now on shore leave and that he had an argument with the now undetectable Swiss Björn Weißmann, who may be the dead person. Hjörtur photographs the corpse in the refrigerator and publishes photos of it on Twitter . This tells the police that the body was stolen from the cold store. Meanwhile, Andri's wife Agnes, from whom he lives separately, has come to visit Seydisfjordur, and - surprisingly for Andri - with her new boyfriend Sigvaldi. Together they accidentally discover the two black women and inform the police. The women are Nigerian sisters and have been physically abused. Jonas escapes from police custody before he has a fatal traffic accident with the stolen police car in the snowstorm.

Meanwhile, out of sheer fascination, Hjörtur photographs various people around the village, including Andris' children and Erikur's other daughter, Johanna, who looks very similar to Dragný. A little later, the police track him down via his Twitter account and arrest him. But he denies having stolen the body. A little later, another part of the corpse is found in the fjord, namely an arm and personal belongings of the deceased. The police now realize that the dead man and his murderer were not on the ship, but in Seydisfjordur. Hjörtur is then released again. Dagný is the daughter of Andri's father-in-law Eirikur, who previously assumed that Hjörtur was responsible for both her death and the current murder. After Hjörtur's release, Eirikur, at Andri's suggestion, reconsiders his attitude and no longer blames him.

In Seydisfjordur, a project group headed by parliamentarian Friðrik is planning to greatly expand the city's port so that in the future ships can stop there on their way from China to the USA. The project group also includes Hrafn Eysteinsson, mayor and former police chief of Seydisfjordur, and Sigurður Guðmundsson, also known as Siggi, who works as a security guard. For the expansion, many residents of the fjord would have to sell their land. Siggi's father Guðmundur is one of them, who is against the project and vehemently refuses to make his property available for it.

Police are investigating that the man whose body was discovered in the fjord met with Fridrik at the local restaurant before he died. He can describe him so well that the police identified the deceased as a professional criminal named Geirmundur Jónsson, who years ago, when Hrafn was still police chief, was already in custody at the local police station. Hrafn, then confronted by Andri, can neither explain the untraceable disappearance of Geirmundur at the time, nor the fact that his police files could not be found and thus arouses Andris suspicion. After talking to Andri, Hrafn is so angry that he abuses his wife Kolbrun at home.

Meanwhile, Por Snaedal, the colleague of Detective Inspector Trausti in Reykjavík, whom Andri informed about the investigation by phone, secretly passed the current status of the investigation on to the journalist Ragna, because he owed her a favor.

Guðmundur sets out to trigger a controlled avalanche with an explosion on the mountainside near Seydisfjordur in order to avert danger to people as a precautionary measure. When Andri and Siggi try to stop him at the last minute, the explosion causes two avalanches, which seriously injure Guðmundur and dies after unsuccessful rescue measures. In the shock of the events, Siggi expresses his displeasure with Andri about Hravn and his work several times. The avalanches severed the electricity and telephone lines that supply Seydisfjordur and buried the access road. Because of this and the weather and drift ice, the place is now largely cut off from the outside world.

A stranger locks Hravn in his shed and sets a fire, Kolbrun lets him indifferently while her husband yells for help.

Episodes 6 to 10

The mayor was burned in his shed, the police are investigating murder. Kolbrun lies to the police by saying that they heard about the fire too late. Meanwhile, Andris' colleague, the policeman Ásgeir, discovers a camera at the Swiss tourist Björn Weißmann's in the local swimming pool, where young people have been celebrating an illegal party, which shows a loud argument between Siggi and Geirmundur. When the police confront Siggi with it, he escapes in a boat. The police overpower him, discover the stolen torso of Geirmundur in the hold of the boat and arrest Siggi on suspicion of murder. Meanwhile, the weather has gotten better, so that police officer Trausti Einarsson and his team from Reykjavík arrive. Trausti suspects the visibly traumatized and speechless Siggi of the murder of Hravn and Geirmundur, puts him under pressure to make a written confession and then presents him to the press as a murderer. Shortly after Trausti with his team and Siggi on board took off from Seydisfjordur by helicopter, Siggi commits desperate suicide by throwing himself out of the helicopter. Then Andri Trausti accuses of having investigated improperly and that the confession is implausible. Reacting to this, Trausti for his part questions Andri's competence, referring to an unsolved kidnapping case from Andri's professional past.

It turns out that Hravn was like a fatherly friend to Maria, mother of the boy Maggi, who grew up without a father, and that the entrepreneur Leifur, a confidante of Siggi and Guoni, is a grandfather of Maggi.

Hjörtur expresses surprise to Andri that Geirmundur was the dead man and explains to him that he had met Geirmundur years ago in Spain. Meanwhile, Soren Carlsen, who is the captain of the ferry, and Dvalinn Knudsson, who is with him on the ferry, are looking for the two Nigerian women without whom they do not want to leave the ferry. The police investigate a possible connection between the murders and the Nigerian women and arrest Carlsen as he is involved in the people smuggling with the two women. In exchange for legal immunity and the safety of his family, he testifies that Dvalinn is a person responsible for human trafficking and part of a network of powerful men. Andri and his colleagues are able to arrest Dvalinn, who is known to the police and is extremely dangerous, after a short escape. He is then transferred to police custody in Reykjavík.

Meanwhile, while questioning Siggi's wife Aldis, Andri found out that Siggi was called by Hravn on the night of Geirmundur's death and returned hours after hours completely disturbed.

On the eighth day, Andri and Agnes exchange tenderness again without telling Sigvaldi. On the same evening, while filling the washing machine at home, Andri accidentally discovers a key in Eirikur's trousers for the padlock with which Hravn was locked in the shed before he died on fire. Confronted by Andri, Eirikur admits Hravn's murder and justifies it with Hravn's role in Dagný's death seven years ago, which Eirikur only became aware of when he recently gained certainty that Hjörtur could not have been Dagný's murderer. The then police chief Hravn had lied to Eirikur, who was working as an insurance agent at the time, about the circumstances of death and apparently had himself responsible for the outbreak of the fire and made sure that Hjörtur was taken out of the burning cold store and convicted as the culprit for the fire. Hravn had achieved that he and some confidants received the insurance for the building during the great economic crisis . The statement by Eirikur is underpinned by police investigations, according to which Leifur once owned the burned down cold store. The company Drengö, originally founded for the construction of the new cold store and managed by Leifur, in which Hravn and Guoni now have a financial stake, is operating the new hotel and has already acquired numerous properties for the potential Chinese port operators.

Following a tip from a man who is on the lookout by telescope to pass the time, the police stumble upon the car Geirmundur used to drive away after his argument with Hravn. You can find it parked in front of Maria's house and with a present for Maggi. During the police interrogation of Maria it becomes clear that she was raped by Geirmundur around the time of the cold store fire and that Maggi was conceived in the process. After Geirmundur's recent return to Seydisfjordur, he had a quarrel with Maria about Maggi, who defended herself with a knife, which unfortunately killed him. Hravn, Guoni, Leifur and Siggi then helped her remove the body.

The police now find out that Geirmundur had started the fire in the cold store on Hravn's behalf and, surprised by people in the building, had saved Hjörtur from death by flames. When Guoni and Leifur try to flee Seydisfjordur by boat, they are stopped by the police and finally arrested. Kolbrun is continuing Hravn's efforts to build a port on the fjord for the shipping route between China and America. Agnes moves to Reykjavík with the children and Sigvaldi.
