Cansei-me de esperar. Não tens ninguém a quem culpar senão a ti próprio. Podias ter escolhido outro caminho, mas não o fizeste. Então, chegámos ao teu ómega. O princípio do teu fim. O Natal está a aproximar-se em Estocolmo e a cidade enche-se de luzes. Mas algo sinistro está prestes a acontecer. Um misterioso telefonema para o ministro da Justiça marca o início de uma contagem decrescente que o empurra inexoravelmente para o dia marcado para a sua morte. Simultaneamente, uma macabra pilha de ossos é encontrada nos túneis subterrâneos abandonados da cidade, e tudo aponta para que pertençam a uma pessoa proeminente desaparecida algum tempo antes. A investigadora Mina Dabiri e os seus colegas do departamento de homicídios assumem a investigação. Mas as pistas são escassas e Mina vê-se obrigada a voltar a recorrer ao mentalista Vincent Walder. Com a descoberta de mais uma pilha de ossos, começam a interrogar-se sobre o que estará realmente escondido nas profundezas da capital. Vincent, por sua vez, luta incansavelmente para descobrir quem está por trás do envio de uma série de enigmas e quebra-cabeças que o colocam defronte dos seus próprios demónios. O tempo está a esgotar-se, e Mina e Vincent vão ter de se embrenhar na mais profunda escuridão para decifrar a mente do inimigo mais perverso que alguma vez conheceram.
