Maja and Janne move to the barren and remote island of Stormskerry, where survival is a daily struggle. Growing up in a world of old values, Maja becomes aware of a new era: a woman can be an equal partner instead of a mere bystander. The couple have children, and life is good until trouble sets in: war arrives on the island, Janne is forced to flee from the English troops, and Maja and the children are imprisoned. The family also faces many financial difficulties and death. Years pass, but Maja remains strong and stays in Stormskerry despite all the hardships and difficulties.

The world of a seemingly perfect family shatters when a shocking murder proves that they're willing to make desperate moves to protect one another.

Set in the 1970s, Blackwater tells the story of how four random people's lives converge after two tourists are found murdered in a tent near the Swedish mountain town of Blackwater.
