Hostage

Synopsis

In the second season of STHLM Requiem, based on Kristina Olsson’s novels about Fredrika Bergman, we revisit two of our main characters during six intense episodes spanning over only one day – and one crisis.

In Stockholm, a Boeing 747 takes off for New York City. As the plane reaches cruising altitude, a message is found on board: the plane is hijacked and will explode if the demands are not met. The unknown hijackers want the deportation of a certain man in Sweden revoked, and a certain location, that turns out to be a CIA black site, closed for good. Fredrika Bergman, now working at the Swedish Justice Department has to reunite with Police Investigator Alex Recht, in order to resolve the situations. Their investigation reveals a story much more complex than they could imagine, and Fredrika’s perception of justice is challenged, as she is faced by one person’s desperate pursuit for revenge.
