Maria is a Portuguese woman who emigrates to Vestmannaeyjar, a small and remote island in Iceland, in search of a better life for herself and her teenage daughter, Bela. Away from a past marked by domestic violence and deep secrets, she looks for freedom and a place to be herself. Six months after her arrival, Maria is found lifeless. Her violent death shocks the isolated community and exposes the secrets everyone is keeping. The investigation is placed in the hands of Soffía an Icelandic detective who, as she immerses in the investigation, faces her own crossroads, trying to balance professional duty and the ghosts of her past.
