Stavanger is no longer a small fishing town on the West Coast, priding itself on titles like "oil capital" and "culture capital." People are wealthier, the cars more expensive, the houses more luxurious. Old wooden houses are demolished to give way to large residential complexes and gigantic food festivals, French acrobats dominate cultural life, and behind it all looms the global financial crisis. In the middle of this materialistic everyday reality is Jonny Kristiansen, an up-and-coming 25-year-old broker. Hungry for money and success, he is pulled into an unscrupulous financial world with cigars, champagne, and exclusive escort girls. Jonny takes off and aims at the top of the finance pyramid with his goal to become the best, richest, and most powerful--at whatever cost.
