Found guilty of libel, Mikael Blomkvist, the disgraced journalist working for the radical magazine Millennium, has six months to settle his affairs before serving three months in prison. It's been forty long years since the unaccountable disappearance of the then-sixteen-year-old Harriet Vanger, and now, her uncle, the powerful industrialist, Henrik Vanger, enlists his help to get to the bottom of the baffling case. But, who is watching Mikael's every move?
