Když Mariannina manžela srazilo auto, její svět se zhroutil. Snaží se vyrovnat s jeho smrtí a nostalgicky si prohlíží soubory v jeho notebooku. Přitom zjistí, že její zásadový muž chodil na darknet, kde Marianne objeví své jméno na seznamu osob, které mají být zabity. Proč se na něm ocitla? Chtěl ji manžel chránit, nebo si naopak objednal její vraždu? A pak je tu nájemný vrah Sam – má hodně co ztratit a udělá všechno pro to, aby se to nestalo.

Robin a Sarah, ač dvojčata, si nejsou moc podobná a ani naladěná na stejnou vlnu, a navzájem se milují. Dokud nebyla odloučena kvůli krutým poměrům v rodině. Teď je jim přes třicet. Robin žije sama, trpí agorafobií a záchvaty paniky. Celé dny a noci tráví chozením po místnostech svého domu. Anebo pozoruje ulici, domy, sousedy. A jednoho dne uvidí něco, co neměla ... A Sarah? Sarah získala to, co chtěla – hezkého muže, krásné dítě, dokonalý domov. Ale najednou je obviněna z nejhoršího činu ze všech. Dokud se nevypořádá s něčím, co se stalo už velmi dávno, nebude moci být se svou rodinou. A aby to dokázala, musí se spojit se svou sestrou. Sarah však není jediná osoba, která hledá Robin, a když se jejich cesty konečně protnou, obě dívky budou muset bojovat za mnohem víc, než je jejich vztah.
