Aisha

In a penthouse in one of Amager's showpiece buildings, Sten Høeck, head of security at Mærsk, once of the intelligence service's counterterrorism unit and a notorious womaniser, is found mutilated and tortured to death. Deputy inspector Axel Steen gets the case, his first since he came close to dying in a large undercover operation two years earlier. He carries the injuries, his daughter is afraid he will die, he has left his beloved Nørrebro and has a new boss, partner and girlfriend, while old demons pull at him. When he looks into a terror case from three years before, his private life collides with the investigation.
