The funfair has come to Helsingør and soon joy, and laughter are replaced by screams. A high-ranking employee has been shot during his shift at the shooting booth, but as it happens in the middle of a turbulent shift change, doubt as to whether the killer got the right man quickly arises. Josefine is still accused of Otto's drug smuggling, but Dan does everything in his power to get her released.

The funfair is in many ways running on the edge of the law, so unfortunately, not everyone is equally willing to cooperate with Dan and Flemming. Marianne has found a foreign hair on the deceased, which with some effort may lead them to the killer. But what the police do not yet know is that a stalker is out there following the widow, Ene.
