Hard-nosed hit man Raid is driving toward the Arctic Circle
with Nygren, a career criminal in the twilight of his life. As they
journey northward, Nygren puts his affairs in order, wreaking
vengeance on those who have wronged him and paying
penance to those he has wronged. Their first stop is at a
church, where a sham preacher is fleecing his congregation
for money.

Soon, both cops and crooks are on the trail of the mysterious
pair. Detective Lieutenant Jansson and his colleagues are
interested in any potential jobs the notorious criminals might
be planning. A couple of accomplices from Nygren's past
believe he has a hidden stash of cash, and want a share for
themselves. In the end, the pilgrimage leaves a trail of
wounded and dead in its wake.

Hard-nosed hit man Raid is lying low at his farmhouse in
northern Finland when the son of a local shopkeeper stumbles
onto his property with bloodthirsty Bolivian drug traffickers on
his heels. Raid comes to the boy's aid, and arouses the ire of
the Bolivian cartel.

Further south, Detective Lieutenant Jansson and his
colleagues find the bodies of a Bolivian warehouse worker and
a Finnish flight attendant in a Helsinki home, along with a
closet brimming with stolen goods.

In this twisting tale of cops, criminals, and those who blur the
lines, Jansson and his team struggle to connect the dots
behind the case. Were the killings the work of a jealous lover,
the result of a theft racket gone awry, or something else
entirely? And how might a shady PI and a decades-old
prostitution case be linked to the murders?
