Computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, struggling for life in a Stockholm hospital, is determined to live in order to find the one responsible for her injuries and to clear her name for three murders of which she is the prime suspect. While recovering, she puts her trust in journalist Mikael Blomkvist who is working to uncover the secret behind the man who shot her, her estranged father who is a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to Sweden's security police.

Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is about to expose a sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden implicating several high-ranking officials when two investigative reporters are murdered. The murder suspect is none other than Lisbeth Salander, the troubled computer hacker who aided him in the past. While Blomkvist tries to clear her name, Salander confronts her past in order to save herself from the person trying to frame her for murder.
