On their first day as partners, Detectives Max Sorenson and Sander Holm, are called in to investigate the mysterious death of 4 young immigrant boys. There are no signs of violence or drugs, but there are eels crawling around at the crime scene. The detectives both start seeing things they can't quite explain - and the feeling of time and place slowly disappears.
A story of two police detectives who want to find out how four young men died andthe fifth disappeared. The two police detectives are both with deep personal and family problems, which help explain their motivation to be detectives. While the crime in question is being slowly investigated, a serious of bizarre events infuses this crime drama with an atmosphere that helps tell more about detectives, making their personalities deeply carved and believable. Supporting characters of Max's wife (portrayed by Selome Emmetu) and Sander's brother (portrayed by Marius Kolbenstvedt) are keeping the story glued to bleak reality of the lost opportunities and bitter losses in life. While the pace of drama development is a bit slow, it allows viewer to think of motives of all characters. Photography could have been somewhat better, but some special effects are above the standard. With all the differences in story and style, Besatt can be described as the Nordic version of Twin Peaks - but without those humorous episodes.
