At the City Court, Amaia Salazar and her team await the trial of Jason Medina who has been accused of the rape, mutilation and murder of his stepdaughter, Johana Márquez. Just before the trial starts, Medina is found dead in the court’s bathroom having committed suicide by slashing his wrists, and leaving a little note in a pocket of his pants with just one word written: “Tartalo”.
This event causes Amaia’s water to break and she gives birth to a boy, Ibai, in the hospital. Amaia and her American husband James celebrate the birth of their first child. Reinstated to the active service four months later, Amaia is called by her superior to lead investigation into two different cases.
First, Monseñor Landero and Padre Sarasola requested Amaia specifically to investigate with secrecy the profanation of a little church where a baby’s amputated arm was found in the altar and second, a man incarcerated in Logroño for the murder of his wife, calls for Amaia with the message that he will reveal only to her the location of his wife’s corpse. The man commits suicide after giving a note to a prison guard, where only “Tartalo” is written. Amaia links the “Tartalo” message to the pile of bones that her team had found the year before. She finds that “Tartalo” refers to an old pagan legend told by the Spanish Inquisition where a giant eats Christian babies to stop them from growing up religious.
In the meantime, Amaia and her family move to Elizondo after her Aunt Engrasi mentions the abandoned house that her grandmother left behind. Amaia meets the groundskeeper, but finds it odd when he does not greet her back after waving at him. Engrasi mentions that he does not speak much and is estranged from his son.
Forced to look into her family’s past, Amaia discovers the relation between her mother and a sect dedicated to a pagan cult that included human sacrifices, and that all the crimes are connected to her.
Amaia asks for the psychiatric interviews, which were all filmed, between the doctor and her mother. She discovers that the doctor is in fact the groundskeeper’s estranged son, who is involved in the pagan acts. She also then realizes that her mother intends to kill her son, Ibai. She immediately calls Rosaura to save Ibai but Elizondo is flooded and Rosaura arrives too late to save him, finding an unconscious Engrasi and Ibai gone. Jonan and Amaia drive on and find Rosario and Doctor Berasategui ready to sacrifice the baby. Amaia shoots to stop the sacrifice. Rosario then realises that Amaia’s child is a boy and not a girl as intended. She tells Amaia that although she was successful in sacrificing her sister, she is not done with Amaia. She then disappears.
Amaia puts her twin sister’s bones to rest in the backyard of the large house, but her mother is still at large.
