Two lifeboats drift ashore on the Swedish coast, each carrying the bodies of well-dressed men who appear to have been executed. The discovery pulls Inspector Wallander into an international investigation that leads him to Latvia, where the political climate is unstable and the police cannot be trusted. Far from home, Wallander finds himself navigating a world where every ally might also be an enemy.

In Riga, the case becomes more dangerous as he uncovers links to organized crime and corruption inside the very institutions meant to uphold the law. With little support and no clear way out, Wallander must rely on his instincts to survive long enough to uncover the truth behind the killings.
