A classic Nordic thriller set in far-flung Norway, where a washed up journalist finds herself covering what appears to be a mine accident. But as she digs further into the case, she discovers this case is far more complex and dangerous than she could ever have anticipated. Kings Bay is based on actual events that occurred in 1962, when a tragic mine explosion killed 21 people and the resulting scandal brought about the fall of the Norwegian Labour Party government. Journalist Harriet Hansen, struggling to revive her career, starts digging into the 50 year old case. Among other things in her investigation, she comes across old Russian tapes that reveal a darker truth. What if what happened on Svalbard was not an accident, what if the government had received a warning that something was going to happen? (HBO Europe)
