Synopsis

Oili Lyyra is a forensic dentist unravelling the mystery of a corpse found near the harbor of Helsinki. Oili's lover, Detective Eero Harakka, has also been assigned to investigate the same case. Soon after, Oili meets her little sister Laura's new friends, members of a vigilante women's group, and discovers that the murder is not a random case but part of a more subtle plan.
