Synopsis

Jonas, a talented chef, attempts to clear his name and win back his family after wrongful imprisonment. As society turns its back on the ex-convict, his last resort is to commit his first crime. By accepting dirty money to set up a fine-dining restaurant, he’s forced to run a money-launder operation to pay it back - not only putting his parole in jeopardy but also his own life and the ones he loves.

Note from the artistic direction

First Icelandic series selected at CANNESERIES, Reykjavik Fusion stars Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, recently seen on the second season of Severance, as a chef just out of prison, ready to do whatever it takes to open the restaurant of his dreams. But when cooking meets crime, the menu becomes explosive. With a frantic pace, polished direction, and breathtaking Icelandic landscapes, the series is as delicious as it is striking, going all out to deliver an unforgettable experience.
