Faro is about a man who flees into the forest with his daughter to escape a prison sentence.

It is Midsummer’s Eve and ten people are on a deserted castle for a TV recording. The next morning the program leader is shot dead. Kvällspressens Annika Bengtzon a mandate to monitor the murder, but she soon learns that her best friend Anne Snapphanevägen is one of the ten suspects. When the police released all one after another – all except Anne – it becomes personal for Bengtzon who will do anything to exonerate her friend.
