Trapped: The Complete Series 2 (DVD)

Outside the Icelandic Parliament in Reykjavík. The Minister of Industry is walking the square to attend a meeting when someone calls out her name. It’s a man - wet from top to toe – smelling of gasoline. Before the minister realizes what to do the man grabs her and sets fire to both of them. Andri Ólafsson – who now has become the Head of Police Investigation in Reykjavík – is called along with his team. The man is dead, but the minister is rushed to a hospital with 2nd. Degree burns. Soon Andri finds out this man was the ministers’ brother. They grew up in the countryside up north. She left when she was a teenager and never came back – leaving her mother and siblings behind. Andri goes up north to investigate. This was a murder attempt but what was the motive? He is also under pressure from the Prime Minister and the Government who think this might have been an act of terrorism – as there are currently some very controversial things connected to an expansion of a power plant near the town of Siglufjörður. The show’s first series centred on a murder mystery in a remote Icelandic town physically isolated by a raging blizzard, the second series deals with more psychological forms of entrapment.
