Rolf Larsen is an investigator at Vestegnens Police, and married to Maria. Just as Rolf is looking forward to a few days alone with his daughter, work demands his attention: a little girl, Minna, has been kidnapped.
A simple stolen car in Tornby introduces Rolf to the young police assistant Neel. He is reluctantly ordered by their joint boss to test the car thief's DNA with his old colleagues in Copenhagen.
