Jennica is single and careerless when she meets Steven on Tinder. But just as she thinks her luck is changing, it soon becomes clear that Steven is hiding secrets of his own . . .
Two murders.
By the end of the summer Steven and Regina Rytter will be found dead in their home and the questions will begin . . .
