What Season 2 of The Chestnut Man
Detectives Hess and Thulin team up again in Copenhagen. A criminal has turned the hunt into a deadly game of hide-and-seek played out in the fog on the city's outskirts. Other people get dragged into the deadly game, and the investigators must stop the killer before more victims fall. Thulin had requested a transfer to Cybercrime to spend more time with her daughter, Le, but now she is back on the front lines. Hess, from Europol, has temporarily returned to the city. Together they race against the clock to uncover who is behind every move in the game.
