A character as unpleasant as he is fascinating, half-swindler half-headhunter, finds himself tangled up in a terrible chain of events... A dark, madcap crime drama adapted from Jo Nesbø's novel by the producers of Occupied.

Roger Brown is a man of great ambition. With honed skills in fraud and smooth talking, he manages to get hired as a headhunter for a large company. He can't hold back and decides to steal a painting masterpiece from the manager he has just hired. But nothing goes to plan, and what starts out as the trick of the century turns into a nightmare. Adapted from the novel by Jo Nesbø, which was turned into a successful film directed by Morten Tyldum in 2011, this thriller laced with a good dose of black humor is the work of the Norwegian producers of Occupied. The direction borrows as much from the darkest crime dramas as from the burlesque in propelling the storyline.
