[1] The show follows lawyer Stella Blómkvist who is called to defend a client suspected of murdering Halla, a young woman who works as an assistant for Sverrir, the Icelandic Prime Minister.
When she receives an anonymous tip which suggests that the Prime Minister himself might have committed the murder she starts her own investigation, which leads her to uncover a web of corruption, involving Icelandic politicians and high ranking Chinese officials.
Against this grim backdrop we see Stella struggle with her break-up with Dagbjört, while continuing to solve cases for her clients as a lawyer.
She tries hard to forget Dagbjört, but this appears near impossible as the political turmoil in the country forces them to work together once more.
