The commercial arm of the German national broadcaster, ZDF Enterprises, has launched the distribution of the Swedish crime thriller Huss from Yellow Bird Productions.
Inspired by Helene Tursten’s best-selling novels, the series (5 x 90’, 10 x 45’), centres around Katarina Huss, an ambitious new graduate of Sweden’s police academy, who is drawn into a tangled web of corruption and betrayal.
Based in Gothenburg where Katarina’s mother, Irene Huss, is the deputy Chief of Police, the young police officer struggles to be accepted by her colleagues. As she familiarises herself with the surrounding tough neighbourhoods, Katerina soon realises that the squad she has been assigned to harbours a secret, something to do with the violent riots that occurred in the city. The underlying discontent with the leadership and her temporary promotion creates further tension that escalates as the young police officer finds out her mother is part of the cover-up.
