Agnes Peterson is a student of journalism. Maria Guttesen suddenly disappeared in 1966 when she was 20 years old. 50 years later, Agnes will undertake an investigation to fulfill her grandfather's dream; to find his sister Maria, dead or alive, and solve the mystery of her disappearance. Jákup Jacobsen, a famous writer in Europe, was one of the main suspects, but evidence was never found against him. His latest published book talks about kidnappings of women. Agnes will move between reality and fiction to solve the case.

Two lost souls with incongruent world views meet again and again under strange circumstances and it will gradually become clear that they are connected by some force, which is bigger the they can fathom.
