THE CANDIDATE
KANDIDATEN
Defence attorney Jonas Bechmann makes his living getting murderers acquitted – that is until he becomes a murder suspect. After a night out, he ends up in a hotel room with a young girl. The following morning she is lying on the floor, brutally murdered, and all the evidence points to Jonas. To clear his name, he must leave his whole life behind and go on the run. But Jonas soon discovers that he has been ensnared in a larger game of truth and falsehood, where the line between right and wrong becomes swiftly erased. Only when the trail leads him back to his father’s mysterious death does the law-abiding defence attorney realise that there is only one way out; to become like the person he is hunting…
