The story is pitting an investigative journalist (Michael Blomkvist) and a talented computer hacker (Lisbeth Salander),who is also working on a contractual basis for a private security company, against a top secret swedish intelligence unit who answers to nobody but to the prime minister office.

This story is mainly about how far government operatives are willing to go in order to protect secrets that are deemed to be in the national security interest.
