A few hours before midnight on April 6th in 1990, the Scandinavian Star departs from Oslo heading to Frederikshavn. What should have been a regular cruise, quickly evolves into a tragedy: 159 people die. This is the story of the biggest unsolved murder case in Scandinavia in recent times.

Panic ensues aboard the Scandinavian Star as the fire breaks out. Passengers are fighting for space in the lifeboats, but there are some desperately searching for their relatives.

Everyone thinks the fire is almost extinguished, but at three o'clock in the night, another explosive fire suddenly breaks out and burns out a large part of the ship. From the docks, an extensive investigation begins with a collaboration between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian police. In Copenhagen, the Maritime Hearing begins - under great international awareness.

Norwegian police receives a tip that a former convicted arsonist was among the deceased. The suspect is a Danish truck driver, and despite their lack of evidence, Norwegian police decides to name him the perpetrator. Some of the survivors can't make sense of it and decide to investigate the case themselves.

The ships sales patterns are attracting the interest of a Norwegian supplier and they are starting to investigate the case.

After pressure from an independent investigation group, Norwegian police re-opens the case in 2014. The purpose of the investigation is to find out if there were more ignited fires on the ship, and if the fire could have a financial motive. A crew member under suspicion, decides to step forward and tell his story for the first time, 30 years after the disaster.
