With transport ground to a halt, Tom must venture out into a transformed and treacherous landscape to collect his son, sick and stranded in student lodgings.

Penzionovaný norský policista si ve volných chvílích skládá mozaiku nikdy nevyřešených případů svých zahraničních kolegů. Nesourodá směs vražd obyčejných lidí, ke kterým došlo v různých zemích Evropy i USA, popírá tradiční logiku zločinu. Zdánlivě je nic nespojuje, střípky se však náhle začnou spojovat v bizardní obraz.
