Håkon Haakonsen is happy with his girlfriend Sigrid and her son David. Then both of them disappear.
Sigrid’s violent ex-boyfriend Muhammad has escaped from prison, and an elderly woman is run over and killed on a deserted road outside Sandefjord without anyone coming forward. At the same time, David has had greater problems at school than Håkon could ever have imagined. Are all these events connected?
As time is running out for the two people dearest to him, one thing becomes clear: He has never truly known the woman he loves.
