Jan is a weedy and nerdy loser. His girlfriend has left him, his fast food bar is going under and his dad pushes him around in his own house. Things are so bad that he walks out into the forest to hang himself. And he can′t even do that properly. Whilst out there, he hears the faint scream of a man shouting for help. He comes across him in an old shed and it turns out to be Norwegian rock star, Iver Mo, who has been kidnapped and held for ransom. Jan re-kidnaps him and holds him hostage in a weak bid to save his greasy spoon and maybe impress his girlfriend. The real kidnappers, of course, are in this for money and revenge. Iver has forever been beastly to his drummer Bent, taunting him about being a hanger-on and even screwing his girlfriend. Bent is sick of it and in league with the hired thugs who originally kidnapped him. Pal Sletaune′s new black comedy features a brilliant cast of pathetic but noble characters who get caught up in Norway′s "kidnapping of the century."
