Storyline

Carol's long-time friend Stina is going through her dead father's belongings and finds her grandfather's obituary. According to it, Stina's grandfather died much later than she had been lead to believe. When continuing to explore what her father left behind, Stina sprains her ankle when falling while reaching for a box on a shelf. She asks Carol to look into the matter. Carol's investigations soon reveal that there is much more to Stina's suspicions than simply a misprint in an obituary, and that Stina's family history is darker and more twisted than either Carol or Stina could ever have imagined.
