His high school sweetheart, Nathalie, has just returned to the area with her five-year-old son – could she shed light on who Mats really was?

However, Nathalie has her own secret. If it’s discovered, she will lose her only child. As the investigation stalls, the police have many questions. But there is only one that matters.
