The body of a murder victim turns up in a small Icelandic village just as a major snowstorm cuts the region off from the rest of the world.

The six-part series follows journalist Hannis Martinsson (Ulrich Thomsen), who unexpectedly receives a message from Sonja, a young Faroese woman who claims she is Hannis' daughter and that her life is in danger. Reluctantly returning home to the Faroes to investigate, Hannis discovers Sonja's body in the bloody waters of a whale hunt.

A daughter attempts to pull the monster of her childhood out from under the bed in an original, deeply personal and creative film about her mother's mental illness.

In the Faroe Islands, a married woman meets a reporter filming a documentary on overseas Filipino workers, which soon sparks a complicated love story.

Grounded and romantic Kári loves his simple life in a small village on an isolated island, in one of the smallest countries in the world. But times soon take a turn for the worse; the only source of income for the local community is the fish factory where he works, and when it faces closure, the workers and his best friend look for a way out. But unlike most young people on the island, Kári wants to stay, at peace with things as they are. Even when everyone is chasing a better future somewhere else, Kári decides to stay and face the challenges head-on. Because for him, his home town is The Last Paradise on Earth.

Ivar is stranded on a mountainous country road on the Faroe Islands and the only person he can ask for help is his estranged brother.

The series looks at the Faroe Islands and Faroese people from a slightly different, and perhaps a little more humorous, perspective than usual. We meet the nationalist Harald, his wife Pernille, and their daughter Søs, all of whom live in Copenhagen. We also meet the grumpy Sofus, the lonely Niels, the gay Kjartan, the chic Remi and Rosely, the smooth reporters Olgar and Randi, and many, many others. It's expected that most people will recognize themselves in some of these characters who, in one way or another, shape the Faroe Islands of 2008.
