He arrives at his new office to find it empty except for one woman, Barbro (Ia Langhammer), who brings her dog to work and seems much more concerned with better results from her dating app than about remembering to tell Peter there’s someone here to see him.

Robert Gustafsson, who is best known in Sweden as a comedian, plays Peter Wendel, a Stockholm detective who seems physically incapable of cracking a smile.
