Synopsis

In a hauntingly atmospheric Icelandic setting, a brilliant but disturbed serial killer begins creating grotesque works of "art" using human bodies, throwing the small, tight-knit population into chaos and fear. Desperate to understand and stop the killer, authorities turn to an imprisoned, legendary murderer—the Devil incarnate—believed to be the most dangerous mind in criminal history. A young profiler or detective is tasked with interviewing this entity, but the deeper they go into the Devil’s twisted logic, the more they risk losing their grip on reality. As the boundary between evil and artistry blurs, the ultimate question emerges: to catch a monster, how close must one come to becoming one?
