Summary
Roger (Aksel Hennie) is a man who seems to have it all: he is Norway's most successful headhunter, married to the beautiful gallery-owner Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund), owns a magnificent villa - but living larger than he should. To keep up he is stealing art on the side. At a gallery opening, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Not only is he the perfect candidate for the CEO position of the GPS company Pathfinder that Roger is currently recruiting for; he is also in possession of a very valuable painting. Roger sees his chance to become financially independent, and starts planning his biggest hit ever. He soon runs into trouble - and it's not financial problems that are threatening to knock him over this time. The headhunt has begun.
