What happens

The Girl Who Played with Fire (Swedish: Flickan som lekte med elden) is a 2009 crime thriller film directed by Daniel Alfredson from a screenplay by Jonas Frykberg and produced by Søren Stærmose. It is the sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from the same year and based on the 2006 novel by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson, the second entry in his Millennium series.

She falls under suspicion of having murdered a journalist and his girlfriend, as well as her own social services guardian, Nils Bjurman, while Mikael Blomkvist tries to find her before the authorities.
