Police investigators Dan and Marianne Sommerdahl's 25th wedding anniversary is interrupted when a Slavic woman is found dead. The woman has given birth recently, and now every minute counts in the mission of finding the baby.

Dan and Flemming find out that a local woman had adopted the Slavic woman's baby and pretended to her husband that it was their own. But when the biological mother demanded her baby back, things got completely out of control.
