Count to one, count to two…
On a cold night in Copenhagen, Silje is on her way home when strange messages start appearing on her phone.
Count to three, count to four…
It starts as an innocent nursery rhyme – but when the texts turn sinister, Silje fears she’s in terrible danger.
Count to six, right after five. Will little Silje make it home alive?
When Silje disappears, Detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess are tasked with finding her. Thulin and Hess quickly uncover links to a decades-old case – one that started with that same rhyme, and ended in murder…
Count to seven, count to eight. Will you find me, before it’s too late?
