A fire breaks out at a hotel in Nyborg, claiming the lives of 32 individuals. Local pyromaniac Henning Jørgensen is questioned but cannot specify where the blaze began. Meanwhile, a young boy observes a bespectacled man placing a woman's body on a bench in a parking lot. A faint face appears in a newspaper photo, leading police to Otto Lykke Larsen, a man with intellectual disabilities.
