When single mother Mar�anna disappears from her home, leaving an apologetic note on the kitchen table, everyone assumes that she’s taken her own life – until her body is found on the Gr�br�k lava fields seven months later, clearly the victim of murder. Her neglected fifteen-year-old daughter Hekla has been placed in foster care, but is her perfect new life hiding something sinister? Fifteen years earlier, a desperate new mother lies in a maternity ward, unable to look at her own child, the start of an odd and broken relationship that leads to a shocking tragedy. Police officer Elma and her colleagues take on the case, which becomes increasingly complex, as the number of suspects grows and new light is shed on Mar�anna’s past – and the childhood of a girl who never was like the others.
