Í ágúst 1956 hverfur ung stúlka, Lára Marteinsdóttir, úr vist í Viðey og eftir það spyrst ekkert til hennar. Áratugum saman hvílir mál Láru þungt á íslensku þjóðinni og engin skýring kemur fram á hvarfi hennar. Í ágúst 1986 fer ungur blaðamaður að grafast fyrir um þetta dularfulla mannshvarf – með ófyrirsjáanlegum afleiðingum. 
Hér bjóða Ragnar Jónasson og Katrín Jakobsdóttir lesendum í ferðalag á vit sumarsins þegar Reykjavík átti 200 ára afmæli, Bylgjan og Stöð 2 voru að fara í loftið og leiðtogafundur Reagans og Gorbatsjovs stóð fyrir dyrum. Og þetta sumar komu líka fram óvæntar vísbendingar um afdrif Láru Marteinsdóttur.

'TEACHER WANTED ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD . . .'\nUna knows she is struggling to deal with her father's sudden, tragic suicide. She spends her nights drinking alone in Reykjavik, stricken with thoughts that she might one day follow in his footsteps.\nSo when she sees an advert seeking a teacher for two girls in the tiny village of Skálar - population of ten - on the storm-battered north coast of the island, she sees it as a chance to escape.\nBut once she arrives, Una quickly realises nothing in city life has prepared her for this. The villagers are unfriendly. The weather is bleak. And, from the creaky attic bedroom of the old house where she's living, she's convinced she hears the ghostly sound of singing.\nUna worries that she's losing her mind.\nAnd then, just before midwinter, a young girl from the village is found dead. Now there are only nine villagers left - and Una realizes fears one of them has blood on their hands . . .
