Summary:
Icelandic sisters ℓr̤ra and safold live in different countries and aren't on speaking terms, but when their mother loses contact with safold, ℓr̤ra reluctantly returns to Iceland to find her sister. But she soon realizes that her sister isn't avoiding her, she has disappeared, without trace. As she confronts safold's abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend Bj̲rn, and begins to probe her sister's reclusive neighbours - who have their own reasons for staying out of sight - ℓr̤ra is led into an ever-darker web of intrigue and manipulation. Baffled by the conflicting details of her sister's life, and blinded by the shiveringly bright midnight sun of the Icelandic summer, ℓr̤ra enlists the help of police officer Dan̕el, as she tries to track her sister's movements, and begins to tail Bj̲rn - but she isn't the only one watching.
