For decades, Cilla and Rolf Börjlind have been two of Sweden’s most popular screenwriters. When they published their debut novel, Spring Tide, in 2013, expectations were sky-high. The book received rave reviews and its first edition quickly sold out in Sweden. It also immediately sold to over 40 countries.Under a shimmering full moon, a brutal murder is committed. A young, pregnant woman is buried on a beach, with only her head left above ground. As the tide comes in, she drowns slowly. A little boy witnesses this from his hiding place among the bushes.Twenty years later, the case is still unsolved and leads to unexpected consequences for everyone involved - not least for our main character, Olivia, a police cadet who starts to investigate the case as part of a cold case training exercise at the Police Academy.Olivia meets Tom Stilton, who led the original investigation with her father, Arne, who is now deceased from cancer. Stilton has since left the police force, and a series of circumstances has driven him far away from reality. When Stilton meets Olivia, he lives homeless in Stockholm and suffers with psychiatric disorders. Through Stilton, we get to see environments and sides of Stockholm that many of the viewers have not seen before. In the circles surrounding Stilton, we encounter a number of fascinating life stories, and realize that social injustice strikes a hard blow in our new social climate. The series is a unique platform for presenting a picture of the social problems and other challenges we face today, while at the same time maintaining gripping suspense from start to finish.Spring Tide is the first book in a trilogy, and our plan is to create three seasons of the TV-series. The first season sets mostly in Sweden, except some parts in Costa Rica. The second season ventures into Europe - as the second book, Third Voice, is primarily set in Marseille, France. Filmlance strongly believes Spring Tide will enjoy the same success as Bron/Broen.
