Fabian Risk tizenhárom viszonylag nyugodt évet élt meg a válása és Theodor elvesztése után, de most rá kell ébrednie: a szélcsendet gyakran vihar követi. Egy késő nyári estén a lányával, Matildával a vitorlása fedélzetén pihen, amikor a parton hirtelen olyan sötét lesz, mintha az országot egyetlen ecsetvonással eltüntették volna a föld színéről. Hamarosan kiderül, hogy az óriási területet érintő áramkimaradás nem lehetett véletlen. Visszatérve Helsingborgba, kollégáival együtt szembesül az üzemzavar lehetséges okaival és következményeivel. Az áramszünet alatt ugyanis történt egy több száz milliós bankrablás, valamint egy gyanús halálesetet is felfedeznek. Az új taggal kiegészült csapat nyomozni kezd, ám a tanúk furcsán viselkednek, és sehogyan sem áll össze a kép. Fabiant ezzel egy időben megkeresi egy régi barátnője, mert eltűnt a kislánya, és arra gyanakszik, hogy elrabolták. A nyomozó előtt a különböző esetek lassanként igen meglepő mintázatot kezdenek kirajzolni. De vajon mi az, amit még ő sem vesz észre?

Kilenc évvel ezelőtt Weston Madigan megmentett engem. Pénz nélkül, összetört szívvel és terhesen érkeztem Coloradóba, hogy új életet kezdjek. Weston munkát adott nekem a családja üdülőjében, majd másnap elment, és soha többé nem tért vissza, még látogatóba sem. Aztán belebotlok, ahogy éppen - fenségesen, de teljesen helytelenül - póló nélkül reggelit készít a dolgozói szállás közös konyhájában. A mindkettőnk arcán látható megdöbbenésből ítélve ő sem számított szobatársra, főleg nem kettőre. A mogorva pilóta csak azért jött haza, hogy elindítsa családja új vállalkozását. Ha betartjuk a szabályokat, talán figyelmen kívül hagyhatjuk a köztünk lévő vonzalmat. Hiába van gyönyörű, mélabús barna szeme, a pasi egy két lábon járó viharfelhő. De amikor Sutton, a lányom megnevetteti, és rám mosolyog, minden megváltozik. Tiszteletét teszi a kellemetlen szívdobogás. Ez csak egy ideiglenes helyzet. Nem szabad beleszeretnem Westonba. Nem. Szeretek. Bele. De a szabályok máris repülnek ki az ablakon, ha egy kicsit túl közel kerülünk egymáshoz.
