"Helena Bergström stars as crime reporter Annika Bengtzon in two feature films which launched Liza Marklund's bestselling literary character on-screen. Fearless in her search for the truth, journalist Annika Bengtzon won't take no for an answer from anyone: not from prestigious academicians or drug dealers or from colleagues. Her passion for getting the story brings her into dangerous situations, but also allows her to peer into the heart of every crime. Annika's not afraid to square off with hardened criminals, but her toughest challenge is trying to balance the job with her tumultuous private life. Paradise: While working on a story about Paradise, a foundation that claims to protect abused women, Annika stumbles across a murder in Stockholm's harbor. While seeking the truth -- and a good story -- Annika finds herself drawn to Thomas, a married civil servant also interested in discovering the truth about Paradise. They both sense fraud behind the facade of charity. Deadline: Annika tries to uncover the details behind a devastating bomb blast in the newly-constructed Olympic Stadium, which left the head of the organizing committee dead. As the investigation proceeds, she finds herself at odds with both the police and her superiors. Unlike them, she has a gut feeling that the bombing wasn't a terrorist attack but personally motivated.
