Synopsis

Twenty-three years ago, on a hot summer day, a girl named Pia was brutally murdered in a field of wheat by Perr, as his helpless friend, Timo, watched. Now, in the present day and on the exact same date, 13-year-old Sinikka is missing, her bicycle abandoned in the same spot, leading police to suspect the same killer may be responsible. Recently-widowed detective David and his colleague Janna, struggle to solve the mystery of these parallel crimes with the help of Krischan, the retired investigator of the unresolved case. While Sinkiia's distraught parents suffer an agonizing wait, their daughter's fate exposes unhealed emotional wounds in Pia's mother and sends Timo in search of Peer.
