- Synopsis
- Norway’s prime minister is kidnapped by terrorists and
  disappears without a trace. The terrorists make only one demand. That the politicians in power play a game of chess over the prime minister’s life. The chess pieces
  represent people who work for the state or as leaders in
  society. If the politicians win the game, the prime minister will live, but every time the terrorists take a piece, a human must pay with their life. The politicians and their appointed rescue team, the Delta Squad, are faced with an impossible dilemma: Can they afford to sacrifice other human lives in an attempt to save the prime minister?
  With only 24 hours to win the game and save the prime
  minister, they have no choice but to play, but with every
  move they make, death comes closer. And with no leads to go on, could sacrificing a first chess piece give them a clue to find the terrorists?
