Melker Sørensen is a criminal, breaking into wealthy (or poor) homes in post-apocalyptic Norway. It keeps him alive. He always gets away with it. Until, that is, during one botched operation, in which his gang of criminal misfits are caught in the act. Wrapped up in this, however, comes Erika Tollefsen, the well-off daughter of a local businessman. Unfortunately for Erika, one act of compassion results in criminal status in the legalistic nation, and she is thrown together with Melker's crowd. They expect they're going to the gallows, the common price for their crimes, but something else awaits them. The Prime Minister is desperate in his power struggle with the nation's neighbours, and he is willing to do anything, anything at all, to gain the upper hand, even draft a gang like Melker's into his service... their lives are forever changed... and for some, their lives are forever ended.
