Lars Olaafsen, once a young celebrity in the art world, is slipping away into the land of has-beens. Ronny, his long-time art dealer, wants his meal ticket back but Lars refuses to paint. His creativity comes at too high a cost. His inspiration is carnage – blood, guts and limbs – and he’s vowed to never go down that dark road again. Ronny arranges a job for Lars teaching art in a small town. It’s a “therapeutic measure” – a means to conquer his need to paint while in the “safety” of a country retreat. Things look promising for Lars at his new job. That is, until he meets 30-year-old Eddie, a brawny mute who harbours a dark and sordid secret of his own.
