Kriminalassistent Bloch.

In the small town of Fjordnæs, former accountant Carl Frank lives with his family. He is a sick and broken man who has just finished a prison sentence for fraud. His financial affairs are in an extremely sad state, and he has no chance of getting a job. Frank decides to commit suicide and leaves the house with his revolver. Detective Bloch is called in from Copenhagen when Frank's revolver is found with a young horticultural worker.
