Quicksand, or Störst av allt, is a crime drama based on Malin Persson’s 2016 novel of the same name. The narrative was created to represent real-life class differences in Sweden, as seen by the novel’s writers.
Djursholm senior high school is the scene of a school shooting. Maja Norberg, who is 18 years old, is arrested and charged with murder. The protagonist confesses to the murder early on, but rejects the act; the trial is focused on why the murder was done rather than if it was committed.
