AFTERMATH
[Lad de Små Born]

Therapy? Not for everyone. Claes and Britt storm out of their grief counseling session, sneering at their fellow mourners' losses. How could anything compare with the pain of losing their teenage daughter in a car crash? But then the rage-fueled Claes is suspended from his architect job for picking a fight with a client, and social worker Britt becomes dangerously attached to a drug-addicted mother's baby girl. The couple deflect their pain with their acerbic banter until Claes begins stalking the driver responsible for his daughter's death.
