A man vanishes without a trace. His lover, a married, successful politician, discreetly contacts private investigator Varg Veum for assistance.

However, Varg accuses the police of miscarriage of justice and gets involved in an international murder case branching out far beyond Norwegian borders, with adversaries who will stop at nothing.
