The first season of fiction adapted from Søren Sveistrup’s novel consists of six fifty-minute episodes, a format that seems to appeal to users of the large streaming platform N.

In October, we follow the brilliant young researcher Naia Thulin who, accompanied by her teammate Mark Hess, will be tasked with solving a very mysterious investigation. The latter refers to the death of a young woman found brutally murdered and missing a hand.

In addition, a strange element present at the crime scene freezes the blood of the detectives: indeed, they find a little man made of chestnuts who is suspended over the victim.
