Synopsis

A geophysicist and former Olympic marksman watches a political reporter, Mia, on TV saying that citizens perhaps turn to violence to stop the risky oil drillings in Greenland. He decides to form an alliance with her: "You write, I shoot!" He gives politicians the ultimatum: "Stop drilling - or I will start taking lives!" This forces her into crossing the line between an activism and terrorism.
