When darkness descends on Ghent, Chief Inspector Holt is drawn into his most chilling case yet.
What begins as a desperate search for a kidnapped plastic surgeon takes a sinister turn when the mutilated body of a woman is discovered in one of the city’s canals. The evidence is fragmented, the motives unclear—but one question looms large: are the two cases connected?
As Holt races to untangle the threads, his team is thrown into chaos. A brutal attack on one of their own leads them to secretly pursue a shadowy trail, defying orders and risking everything.
But as the investigation spirals, the stakes grow deadly—and the killer’s sights shift dangerously close to Holt’s personal world. Betrayal, obsession, and violence collide in a nerve-shredding race against time.
For Holt, this isn’t just a case. It’s a battle for survival. And in Ghent’s darkest corners, no one is safe.
