Detective Kari Sorgonen (Ville Virtanen) is a highly-respected officer at Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation. But after being on the scene of yet another horrific crime and witnessing his wife barely survive brain cancer, Sorgonen seeks a more peaceful existence. He moves his family from Helsinki to Lappeenranta, a remote town on the border with Russia.

But dreams of a quieter life quickly become out of reach as murder and a kidnapping brings crime closer to Kari’s family than he would have ever expected in a small town.

Bordertown is quintessential Nordic noir – even writer Stephen King is a fan!
