Minneapolis, 2016. A habitual criminal, suspected of arms trafficking, is the victim of a street shooting. All clues lead to Tomas Gomez, a quiet man with a mysterious past (and connected to a major gang) who seems to have vanished. Moreover, more murders are about to be committed... It's as if Gomez can't stop killing. Meanwhile, Bob Oz, a suspended detective with a few stains on his record, becomes fascinated by the case. He becomes obsessed with the idea of hunting down a serial killer whom only he can understand and will stop at nothing, disobeying his superiors: he is searching for an executioner who may carry a past as tragic as his own. Minneapolis, 2022. An enigmatic man arrives from Europe. He has old ties to the state of Minnesota, a place with a strong Norwegian migration tradition. He presents himself as a true crime author, and his visit is due to his documentation on the Gomez case, as he wants to write a book about it. However, as the investigation progresses, his initially neutral position becomes increasingly complicated to unimaginable limits.
