What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Sickan organizes a cathedral burglary while the gang uses prison transport, a hot air balloon, and surveillance of an antiques dealer to uncover a larger heist.
Wall-Enberg frames Sickan, collaborates with Germann, and becomes the target of Sickan's revenge after the gang exposes the cathedral plot.
The Jönsson gang's burglary and escape schemes unfold across Mallorca, Palma, Las Palmas cathedral, and other distinctly holiday-oriented locations.
Sickan's planning is paired with Vanheden's involvement, Dynamit-Harry's explosives expertise, and Doris's participation in the gang's improvised operations.
