Igi Heitmann is being stalked. In the suburb of Oslo where she lives with her cross-dressing husband and their daughter, someone is spray-painting the walls of the houses. HEITMANN=CHILD KILLER, the graffiti say. Who would think this, and how do they know where she lives?
On a bitter winter's evening, Igi attends the opening of the exhibition of an avant-garde artist whose use of violent pornography has caused great controversy. A video is playing, showing a young man being strangled as part of a sado-masochistic sex game.
The video is real, the killing played out to its unwitting audience, and one of Igi's clients is accused of murder. Igi finds herself trapped in a postmodern nightmare as she explores the world in which art, sex and violence meet.
