King's Game
Three weeks before general elections, the leader of one of the country's largest parties, is involved in a severe car accident. The political scene is thrown into disarray. Ulrik Torp is a young, ambitious journalist, who gets caught up in a ruthless struggle for power headed by the party's two successors to leadership. Speculation in the press and calculated lies fuel the controversy at great personal cost to many of the people involved. A cynical plot is uncovered that may involve the incumbent Prime Minister, and Ulrik is obsessed with learning the truth.
