Yle Draama informs: the upcoming espionage thriller will be filmed at Imatra

Eastern Finland is teeming with green-clad Russian soldiers and the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan is anchored off Helsinki! Finland needs a new secret service, a Baltic unit - with a mini-budget and without a clear agenda.

A press intern from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be appointed to lead the three-person unit, Alexis Nyqvist (Antti Tuomas Heikkinen). On his very first day at work, Nyqvist creates a full-scale international crisis - and that's just the beginning. The place in Helsinki is buzzing and the piles of corpses are growing, as the most ferocious agents of the intelligence services of both the United States and Russia, as well as Sweden and Denmark, want Nyqvist's head on a platter. And everyone has a license to kill!

The chiefs of staff of the ministries of the interior, foreign affairs and defense also hit their spoons, all wringing their hands over who gets to order Nyqvist. In the cross pressure of orders and demands, Nyqvist has to pull himself into quite a dead end. 

Fortunately, Nyqvist has help Härkönen (Marc Gassot), Finland's only secret agent and professional killer trained in the United States and Jenniina Miettinen (Saana Koivisto) cold-tempered young office assistant. However, Härkönen would like to retire already. Miettinen, on the other hand, would like to take real action.

Who will pull the longest, the Ministry of Defence, Interior or Foreign Affairs or the President, the FSB or the CIA, Swedish Social Democracy or Danish madness? Will Nyqvist survive and how is the husband's family life? 

There is probably one - Nyqvist's journey won't be very long!

Coming soon, 8 x 40 minutes of black and black espionage thriller comedy!
