The body of a local teenage girl named Annie was found by an idyllic pond in the woods. The suspect list grows indefinitely. However, as Inspector Sejer and his partner Jacob Skarre question the girl's family, and others, they realize she has a shocking secret she shared with no one. He strives to understand Annie's true character, as the answer may lie in her own strange behavior leading up to her death.[1]
