In Stockholm, the journalist and chief-editor of the magazine Millennium Mikael Blomkvist is sentenced to three months in prison for slandering the corrupt entrepreneur Hans-Erik Wennerström. Meanwhile the wealth industrialist Henrik Vanger and his lawyer Dirch Frode hire the Milton Security to investigate the life of Mikael, and the hacker Lisbeth Salander finds that he is an honest man. Mikael is invited to travel to Hedeby Island near Hedestadt to meet Henrik at his home that proposes him to investigate who murdered his beloved nephew Harriet that disappeared forty years ago.
