The series stars Samuli Edelmann, Anna-Maija Tuokko, Aake Kalliala and Olavi Uusirvirta. It is created by Mika Kurvinen and Mikko-Pekka Heikkinen.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Arctic, this gripping thriller tells the story of a powerful family-run mafia which is ripped apart by the death of its matriarch. The series kicks off in Lapland where the great arctic matriarch Brita Nelihanka has long ruled over the wastelands in the north, but she is about to lose her fight against cancer.
After her death, her relatives gather to distribute the inheritance, but Brita’s dying testament offers a host of shocking revelations. The family is torn apart when Brita’s will is read and long-kept secrets about the family’s rise to wealth are finally revealed. This triggers an intense power struggle between members of the clan and the community over control of the local businesses and ownership of the vast areas of surrounding land.
As this powerful family conflict unravels in a brutally unforgiving environment how far will each member go to get what they want?
This hit series is set to captivate audiences with its unique blend of classic Finnish dark humour and nail-biting suspense in this twisted tale of crime, laughter, and Arctic intrigue.
