The Guilty One

On the night before their thirtieth birthday, twins Jasmine and Nicolas Moretti celebrate, but when Jasmine is found dead and Nicolas wakes covered in her blood, chaos ensues. Emma Tapper investigates the case, uncovering dark secrets that challenge her own past. Is Nicolas truly innocent?

In The Guilty One, twins Jasmine and Nicolas Moretti are set to celebrate their thirtieth birthday, but the night takes a tragic turn. When Nicolas awakens hours later, he finds himself in a nightmare: Jasmine is dead, and he is covered in her blood. Overwhelmed with panic and confusion, he flees into the cold streets of Stockholm with the murder weapon in hand. The police quickly determine that Nicolas is the prime suspect, and with his fragmented memories of that night, he struggles to believe in his own innocence.

Amidst the chaos, Emma Tapper, a former police officer grappling with her own demons, is brought in by defense lawyer Angela Köhler to assist with the high-profile case. While Angela appears more focused on winning the trial than uncovering the truth, Emma becomes determined to investigate the events surrounding Jasmine's death. As she delves deeper into the case, she encounters resistance from her former colleagues, who are convinced of Nicolas's guilt.

As Emma uncovers disturbing secrets tied to the murder, she is forced to confront her own traumatic past. Despite her hesitation in defending someone accused of such a heinous crime, she begins to sense that Nicolas may indeed be innocent. This raises a critical question: if he didn’t commit the murder, then who did? Emma's journey to uncover the truth not only tests her resolve but also challenges her understanding of justice and redemption.
