Synopsis

Asger Holm works as an operator in the emergency service in Copenhagen. Before working as an operator, he was a police officer, but was relegated and suspended from his duties. In a day of his night shift, Asger receives a strange call, it is a woman with a terrified voice asking for help. Asger will discover, by phone, that the woman is kidnapped and that he will have to find the location of the call and thus start the search for the hostage's whereabouts. However, Asger can not investigate outside of his job, which will reduce his search at the table of the emergency switchboard. Asger will have to locate and help the kidnapped woman, for this he will have the help of all his colleagues, both from the central office of the capital and from the rest of the country. However, time runs and the danger is greater for the woman. In addition, Asger will have to face not only setbacks of the abduction, but also his own wounds of the past.
