The police immediately focus their attention on Edvard Christensson, the boyfriend of the murdered woman and Isak\'s beloved uncle.
For ten-year-old Isak Nyqvist, it sets in motion something he cannot control, igniting his future into an unpredictable inferno.
To the people in the rural community of Marbäck, this becomes a reference point: a before and after.
