Description

Private investigator Varg Veum is thrown off balance when a woman arrives with a startling claim: she is his half-sister. What begins as a deeply personal request soon expands into a high-stakes search for her god-daughter, a promising young trainee nurse from Haugesund who has disappeared amid intimidation and exploitation linked to a violent gang. As Veum follows the trail through corruption and the pressures facing single-parent families, he must weigh instinct against evidence—and decide what it truly means to protect someone. Blending hard-edged noir tension with intimate, character-driven stakes, this story probes family loyalty, moral responsibility, and the dangerous thin line between help and harm.
