A month after solving the Zetterborg case, Jessica Niemi is ordered on paid leave, and she decides to travel to a small island in the Åland archipelago to find some peace. A group of old people arrive on the same island, and Jessica learns that they are the remaining members of the Doves, the people who had to flee from Finland to Sweden during World War II and ended up living in an orphanage there.

Jessica hears a local legend about a girl who also inhabited the orphanage once. Every night at two o’clock, she put on her blue coat and went to stand on the pier, waiting for something that never showed up. One night she disappeared and was never found.

Soon, one of the remaining Doves dies, and Jessica finds out that two other people have previously faced the same fate on the same island. All three people seem to have something to do with the girl in the blue coat. Jessica is once again facing a scary mystery where the stakes are considerable. Whilst battling her own demons, uncertain what is real and what is not, she needs to find out the truth.
