Amaia Salazar (Marta Etura) returns to the Baztán valley to investigate the suicides that have a mysterious and jarring pattern. She believes that the suicide case is linked to a murder case which she solved in Northern Spain a year before. Salazar, who has now given birth to a baby boy, returns as a detective from The Invisible Guardian and leads the investigation. She also has to confront the challenges of her very annoying and disturbing mother Rosario (Miren Gaztanaga).[8]
