What happens

Ängelby is a Swedish television drama series created by Johan Kindblom and Tomas Tivemark, first broadcast by SVT in 2015. The series, which premiered on 28 September 2015 on SVT1 and was broadcast on ITV Encore in the UK from 31 August 2016, follows Vera Fors (Mia Skäringer), an ordinary mother-of-two whose life is turned upside down by a tragic event. After her husband has an affair with another woman, Vera loses the job that her husband got her, and desperately seeking new employment, she responds to a job vacancy in Ängelby, a small remote suburban city. As Vera seeks the opportunity to start a new life, she makes the decision to take the children and move to Ängelby. But on the way, tragedy strikes when Vera appears to hit and kill a teenage ice-hockey star. In shock, Vera runs from the crime scene, but when she reports the incident to the police the next day, she discovers the boy's body has disappeared. Despite the incident, Vera becomes determined to make a life for herself in Ängelby. However, she soon comes to realise that the boy's disappearance is just the beginning of a series of strange and unpleasant events to occur in Ängelby, forcing Vera to make the decision to get to the bottom of things. SVT confirmed that following positive reception and strong international sales for the first series, a second series has entered production. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
