A tense political thriller centered on a washed-up journalist's investigation into conspiracy, driven by intellectual intrigue and personal desperation rather than action or warmth.

Ulrik Torp, once a fearless investigative journalist who is now tackling unemployment and a midlife crisis. He finds himself in the middle of a new political conspiracy.
