CRIME THRILLER / 8 X 1 HOUR
Following Season one’s dramatic finale, Philip is on a leave of absence from Terror Task Force (TTF) and begins to look into the mysterious disappearance of a former acquaintance, June. The young politics student had just returned from Syria where a bounty was placed on her head for joining the fight against ISIS. Three Islamic terrorists have come to collect what’s theirs …
Philip’s search leads him on board a passenger ferry en route to Sweden. When the situation escalates and the terrorists take over the ship, Philip finds himself in the middle of an international political crisis. He realizes he will not only have to fight for the passengers and June’s lives, but for his own as well.
Season 1 was a success in Sweden (26% market share, doubled prime time slot average on Kanal 5). In addition to these strong ratings, lead actor Johannes Lassen won a TV Drama Series Award for Outstanding Actor at the Monte Carlo Festival (2018). The series has already been sold to 92 territories.
