Robert Hansen, 34, a young police officer from Copenhagen, is transferred against his will to the small town of Skarrild in Southern Jutland as a substitute Marshall. The transfer is Robert’s chance to start over. Whether he is allowed to return to his job in Copenhagen, all depends on how well he performs in this frontier town.

A suffocatingly quiet Danish town becomes a pressure cooker for a cop seeking redemption. Expect simmering tension, uncomfortable truths, and a creeping sense of dread beneath the picturesque facade. It's a slow burn with a darkly comic edge.
