Plot[edit]

Stavanger is no longer a small fishing town on the west coast. Now the city is considered the Norwegian "oil capital" and "culture capital," and the inhabitants have become richer, their cars bigger and more expensive, and their houses far more luxurious. Old wooden houses are being demolished to make way for larger housing complexes and giant food festivals. However, behind it all looms the global financial crisis of the fall of 2008.

In the middle of this materialistic story stands Jonny Kristiansen (played by Christian Rubeck), an up-and-coming 25-year-old broker. Hungry for money and success, he is soon drawn into an unscrupulous financial world with big cigars, champagne and exclusive call girls. Jonny is aiming for the top of the financial pyramid, and his main goal is to become the very best, richest, and most powerful—whatever the cost.[6]
