Summary: Iceland, 1956. Fourteen-year-old L̀ra decides to spend the summer working for a couple on the small island of Videy, just off the coast of Reykjav̕k. In early August, the girl disappears without a trace. Time passes, and the mystery becomes Iceland's most infamous unsolved case. What happened to the young girl? Is she still alive? Did she leave the island, or did something happen to her there? Thirty years later, as the city of Reykjav̕k celebrates its 200th anniversary, journalist Valur Robertsson begins his own investigation into L̀ra's case. But as he draws closer to discovering the secret, and with the eyes of Reykjav̕k upon him, it soon becomes clear that L̀ra's disappearance is a mystery that someone will stop at nothing to keep unsolved.
