Linkoping, Sweden, is surrounded by a landscape of plains and forests--a fault line on the edges of society where time seems to have stood still and where some people live entirely according to their own rules.

The young superintendent Malin Fors is assigned to the case. Together with her colleagues from the Investigation Section of Linkoping's Crime Unit, she must track down the identity of the man in the tree and the reason why he ended up there.
