Swedish Minister of the Interior Eva Basarto Henriksson is abducted during a speech in Järva, a lawless "special area." Amid chaos and gunfire, police retreat. Officer Fredrika, blamed for the failure, seeks redemption by enlisting Emir, an ex-MMA fighter and criminal. During the rescue attempt, a tunnel collapses, trapping them beneath the rubble.

Emir escapes an explosion, but Fredrika is trapped. He flees as she blends into the local community. Emir’s kidney transplant is canceled, and his daughter Mila is moving to Dubai with his ex. Fredrika finds Emir, convincing him to help her. With Emir’s friend Isak, they track Rörelsen, but Isak is shot. After treating him, Emir and Fredrika are ambushed and taken captive by Rörelsen.

Captured by Abu Gharib, leader of Rörelsen, Fredrika negotiates their release. She learns the Southern Network is behind the kidnapping and finds 15-year-old informant Rezvan at a brothel. After a violent escape, they hide at Emir’s mother’s house. Rezvan reveals a link between Roy Adams, leader of the Southern Network, and far-right politician Filip Bonde. Meanwhile, Nova finds Masen dead.
