  Igi 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 says. Who would think such a thing, and how do they know where she lives? On a bitter winter's evening, Igi attends the opening of the exhibition of an artist whose use of violent pornography has caused great controversy. A video is playing, in which a young man is strangled as part of a sado-masochistic sex game. The video is real, the killing played out live 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.
