In a Norwegian coastal town, society's carefully woven threads
begin to unravel when an unsettling stranger named Johan Nagel
arrives. With an often brutal insight into human nature, Nagel
draws out the townsfolk, exposing their darkest instincts and
suppressed desires. At once arrogant and unassuming, righteous and
depraved, Nagel seduces the entire community even as he turns it on
its head--before disappearing as suddenly as he arrived.
