Incompetent detectives Sophie Borg from Stockholm and Tom Brown from St Ives, United Kingdom are given one last chance to solve a case after the macabre murder of an Englishman in Borg's hometown of Norrbacka.[2] Norrbacka police chief Klas Wall, who is about to retire, is overjoyed at the excitement of the case.[6]

Cast
gollark: I don't see why you would need any hardware for this.
gollark: Using an existing custom ROM thing is very easy, compiling Android yourself is hard and extremely slow because Android is horribly designed, porting postmarketOS is probably harder but at least not glacially slow.
gollark: What?
gollark: In many cases there are custom ROMs available (without google apps and stuff) though.
gollark: Technically, yes, but it is a *hassle*.
