The barren, concrete landscape of contemporary Reykjavik contributes the setting for the thriller, which tells the story of Stefan, whose life is slipping into turmoil. When he senses an intruder in his home, panic quickly turns to grim determination and he decides to arm himself for the inevitable confrontation.
