As the investigation advances, Lottie and Filip uncover links to the death of Lottie’s daughter five years earlier. What was believed to be a tragic accident may have deeper roots – ghosts from the past that refuse to stay buried. Was it ever an accident? Meanwhile, Filip is haunted by a true crime journalist digging into his past, placing the pair under more strain than ever before.
