Jonas is involved in a difficult accident and is declared dead. But his body wants something else, and he wakes up miraculously.

Jonas gets a visit from his ex Rebecka. They are trying to escape from the hospital but are taken by the police.

Viveca Eldh leaves Jonas at Wittsätra, the old asylum residence. Rebecka has disappeared.

Rebecka is questioned and pressured to reveal Jonas as they claim to have killed several cops.

Jonas is told that he is a Hidden - a man with extraordinary powers. Eldh claims he is in danger and persuades him to flee.
