The destructive power of the criminal underworld meets vulnerable humanity in Arttu Tuominen’s new crime series

During the economic recession of the 1990s, illegal businesses flow into Finland from across the eastern border. A drug war rages on Finnish soil, where human life has no value.

The quiet life of the village community in Salla is shattered when more than a dozen partygoers are murdered at a remote farm. Fourteen-year-old Liina, who witnesses the massacre, is forced to grow up quickly as senseless violence invades her childhood world.

The photos that Liina took on the farm become highly sought after. Her father, Sami, a police officer, quickly realizes that the entire family is in grave danger. Sami and Liina must weigh the meaning of friendship and loyalty in a world ruled by money and greed.

Alec is an intense portrayal of people haunted by their own demons, struggling to survive in a world marked by ruthless crime where human life holds no value. It is also a story of friendship and trust – bonds strong enough to break through the walls built by fear.
