Storyline

When Arika's husband disappears, the investigation seems straightforward until a body is found and the timeline twists. Years later, new clues resurface and the inspector realises nothing is what it looks like. Arika's life, the husband's identity and the case's long shadow converge in a chilling pursuit of truth where the past speaks louder than the present.
