Two young Finnish women in London are drawn inexorably together via the Studio - a clandestine group dedicated to bringing justice to those beyond the law. But, as their battle against exploitation, violence and corporate greed intensifies, will the Studio's ends continue to justify its means?
In London, Mari and Lia - two women struggling from different, gloomy backgrounds - join a team of specialists. They are going to stop the power-hungry people who are trampling on justice.
The populism of British politician Arthur Fried may be linked to the Studio’s investigation into deaths with an immigrant background. One body is a Muslim boy and the other is called a faceless woman by the media.
Lia's friend Nina, a sex trafficking victim, may connect to The Faceless Woman's murder. The Studio follow a possible link between Fried's campaign and a far right terror group.
Lia infiltrates Fried's campaign but attracts more attention than she planned. Nina leads The Studio to a house holding abused sex slaves. Mari complex family secrets catch up with her.
Mari confides dark childhood secrets to Lia, Aarne's near fatal bullying by the warped Gerber Brothers. Police find another body and Lia knows the victim. Proximity to Fried proves increasingly fatal.
An interview designed to expose Fried backfires causing another woman's disappearance; kidnapped at gunpoint, Lia's violent response surprises even her.
Optimistic Fried faces ruthless powerbrokers from Mari's past; Lia and Mari's relationship fractures over the limits of revenge; an injured sex worker recognises the voice of her attacker.
Mari solves her father's murder; she puts Lia in harm's way but then risks everything to save her; Fried's victory ends in bloodshed; Lia and The Studio face a fight for survival.
