### Episode #1

It's pouring heavily. A boy (Thumbless) wakes up in a car, bruised and bleeding, with his hands tied together around his back. He sees cans of alcohol strewn across the car. He uses his foot to unlock the car door and steps out. He walks onto an empty open road, unsure of where he is. A female motorcyclist (Nathalie) drives towards him and stops abruptly. The motorcyclist yells at him and berates him for standing in the middle of the road. She quickly realizes that the boy is injured and unties the boy, but winces at the sight of his hand; which is duct taped, covered in bite marks, and missing a thumb.

### Episode #2

The motorcyclist inspects Thumbless' hand and asks him what happened. Thumbless remembers seeing a cross necklace and his mutilated hand, but cannot remember the rest. She asks for his name, but he cannot remember it either. She introduces herself as Nathalie. She offers to call an ambulance, but tells Thumbless that her phone is missing. She then states that she will take Thumbless to the hospital on her motorcycle. She drives and stops at a drawbridge, which is lifted up and closed for the night. She checks the other gate, but it is closed as well, making the road to the hospital inaccessible. She is confused because the gates should not be closed so early. She realizes that she is stranded, and that the boy is growing very anxious. She then offers to drive Thumbless up to the mountain to borrow her friend's phone and seek shelter while they wait for assistance. As they leave, the panel closes in on a dismembered arm stuck in the bridge.

### Episode #3

Nathalie and Thumbless continue upwards onto the road and arrive at a trail. The two must continue up the path on foot, but after a short while Thumbless feels breathless and dizzy. He blacks out and Nathalie carries him up for part of the way, until she is exhausted. She pulls out a phone and calls for someone named Liam. As she waits for him, she realizes that there's blood on Thumbless' shirt and takes off his shirt to reveal the word 'MURDERER' carved in his back.

### Episode #4

A young Thumbless is in a bathtub being bathed by an unknown grey haired woman (Anita). He appears afraid of her; hiding, refusing to make eye contact or talk to her. He shows her a picture of a boy which he took from an album, and asks if he can play with him. She angrily snatches the picture and tells him that's not why he's there. Thumbless begins to cry, and she embraces him. He pushes her away, but hugs him tightly. Nathalie and Liam carry Thumbless away as he dreams about his past.

### Episode #5

Nathalie and Kristoph are inside a church talking, while Thumbless is still unconscious. She tells Liam to refer to her as Nathalie, and to himself as Kristoph. She asks him not to tell Thumbless about their cellphones because they are traceable. He tells Nathalie to be careful, and to wear her helmet when she goes out. Liam pulls out a first aid kid and tells Nathalie to pin Thumbless down. He uses scissors to cut part of the duct tape on his hand, and Thumbless quickly wakes up. Before he can act, Liam rips off the duct tape, and Thumbless screams in pain.

### Episode #6

Thumbless begs Liam to stop, but the two pin him down. Liam pours disinfectant on Thumbless' wound, and Liam begins to heat up a needle to sitch the wound. Thumbless struggles to break free, and Nathalie tries to keep him still through breathing exercises as Liam stiches the wound. They eventually finish, and Liam gives Thumbless painkillers. Nathalie brings Thumbless away to take a bath, and Liam questions why Nathalie would help a stranger . He fears that Thumbless will bring them trouble, and plans to get rid of him before the person who hurt Thumbless finds them. Liam shatters his phone so that it becomes unusable.

### Episode #7

Nathalie and Thumbless are in the bathroom. She wraps his wound in a plastic bag, and apologies for putting him through the medical procedure without his consent. She stays in the bathroom to disinfect Thumbless' back, and in case he faints again. She distracts Thumbless; trying to make sure he doesn't see what is engraved on his back. She asks if he can remember anything, but he can only remember the grey haired woman, who he calls his mother. Nathalie states that it's not surprising that he thought about his mother, because people usually think about them when they're in danger, But Thumbless tells her that his mother scared him. He tells Nathalie he doesn't want to think about his wounds, but looks down and sees a rubber ducky.

### Episode #8

Thumbless sees an illusion of a rubber ducky, but quickly snaps out of it. Nathalie asks if he can remember if his mother is the one who gave him his wounds, he says he can't remember. Nathalie apologizes for pushing the question on him, and instead asks him if he can remember his age. He suddenly remembers that he's nineteen. He's not sure why he can remember that, but states it was probably important. Thumbless asks for her age, and she says that she's twenty-one. She thinks to herself that his behavior is strange because he hasn't asked to call for help, followed a stranger to an unknown location, and is a pushover despite not being a child. She decides not to tell him in detail about the injury on his back in case he becomes dangerous. She decides to take advantage of his amnesia, and not tell Liam about his back injury either; in fear of him killing Thumbless. She plans to drop Thumbless off at the hospital and move on with her life. Thumbless asks her for the date, and she says it's August 17th. Thumbless recalls that his birthday was on August 13th, but doesn't remember celebrating his birthday. A flashback is displayed of young Thumbless in a bedroom alone, looking up at a boarded window.

Nathalie brings in some blankets for Thumbless, and tells him that she can bring him to the hospital on her motorcycle in the morning. She tells Thumbless that Liam was the janitor of the church before it closed down. The two leave him in the room alone to sleep, but Thumbless is unsure if he should trust them and sleep. He looks up, and appears to see something unsettling.

### Episode #10

Thumbless sees a painting of a female angel holding a child. He gets up to cover it with a cloth, but suddenly remembers his mother again and bumps into the table.

Liam goes to check on Thumbless, however he is nowhere to be found.

Liam tells Thumbless that he doesn't have the patience to deal with him, and that if he leaves it untreated, he may develop blood poisoning. Liam asks if Thumbless is deaf or stupid because he doesn't reply. Thumbless grabs Liam and angrily tells him that he's not stupid and bursts into tears. Liam tells Thumbless that he will disinfect his wounds again, and hands him a bottle to read the label if he doesn't trust him. Thumbless tells Liam that he can't read that well. Liam begins to peel off the plasters, revealing what is engraved on Thumbless' back.

### Episode #14

A tall brown-haired man in a prisoner uniform (Bo), tried to bleach his hair with laundry detergent, but it was not potent enough. It's revealed that he is in a prison laundry room and has poisoned a security guard (Kent) with a concoction made with the laundry detergent. He steals the man's hat and wears it. He hears a noise and sees a young man (Elias) at the doorway. Elias states that he and other prisoners will be looking for a boat at the Old Harbour, and is looking for supplies. Bo calls them optimistic for trying to search for a boat on a prison island, but credits Elias for the prison break. Elias states that the plan was entirely Emil's idea. Bo tells Elias that he is going to reunite with someone he hasn't seen in a long time. Elias bends down to get some towels from the dryer, and Bo asks if Elias is going to invite him to his 'party', and reconsiders Elias' plan regarding the boat. Bo suddenly grabs Elias and pushes his head into the dryer's door; slamming it violently into Elias' head multiple times until he is dead.

### Episode #15

Kristoph peels off the plaster, and suddenly leaves; slamming the door and locking Thumbless in the bathroom. Nathalie returns, and Kristoph angrily asks her why she didn't tell him about what was carved in Thumbless' back. She apologizes, and says that she believes Thumbless is innocent. She pleads for Liam to let her help him; as she says has made many mistakes in the past. Thumbless, who has been listening to their conversation, tells them that he's not a dangerous person and that he is not oblivious that he may be a target. He understands that he may put them in danger, so he asks for directions so that he can get help, and won't be a burden to Nathalie and Liam. Liam agrees to this, but Nathalie tells them that it's too late because the drawbridge operator is dead and they are stranded.

### Episode #16

Kristoph and Nathalie are discussing their options. She says that the mainland is 30 km away from the harbour, and there's no people here that can assist them. Kristoph mentions that they can go to the prison and tells Thumbless that he has a map. Thumbless offers to go alone, but Nathalie whispers to Kristoph that this may not be a good idea as he will likely inform the cops of their presence and expose their real identities. Kristoph tells Nathalie that they won't be taking Thumbless to the prison, and instead are going to "get rid" of him. Kristoph tells Nathalie that they didn't flee to the country that they're in to get into more trouble. But Nathalie responds that killing Thumbless will get them into even more trouble. Kristoph asks Nathalie where she got the shoe from, and she says it was beside the drawbridge operator's body. Kristoph tells her that her kindness is making her oblivious to the truth, and then tells Thumbless it's time to leave. Nathalie hands Thumbless the shoe, which he immediately recognizes. Thumbless says he's ready to go, but Kristoph offers to take him instead because he has a fever. Kristoph forcefully grabs Thumbless and walks away, Thumbless asks him to let go and says that he can go on his own. Nathalie then offers to take Thumbless to the prison instead, but Kristoph says they can go together again. Nathalie refuses and says she was the one who brought Thumbless there, so she will do "it".

### Episode #17

Kristoph disagrees with the idea of Nathalie going alone, and Thumbless gets irritated and says he'd rather go alone than with Kristoph. Kristoph whispers that Nathalie will have to do it because Thumbless doesn't trust him. Before the two leave, Kristoph gives Nathalie a rifle and Thumbless begins to feel uneasy in their care. Nathalie and Thumbless leave on her motorcycle, and he thanks her for her help. He thinks to himself that they didn't give him any map as they initially said they would. The two eventually come to a stop as Nathalie claims she is running low on gas, and that they must walk the rest of the way. Thumbless becomes anxious because there are no signs on the road and he didn't know what Kristoph and Nathalie were whispering about.

He asks why she kept his back a secret from Kristoph, when suddenly she points her rifle at him.

Nathalie offers Thumbless the gun, but he reminds her that he is missing his thumb. Nathalie contemplates what she should do, when Thumbless notices that there's a large hole in the prison's fence.

She fights back and runs away; telling Thumbless to get on the bike. Jarkko suddenly grabs Thumbless, and states that they just want the rifle. She rams the back of the rifle in Jarkko's face and tries to stop him from grabbing the rifle.
