Centers on Georg Bjarnfreðarson, an over-educated know-it-all who has just been released from jail after a ten year sentence for manslaughter, but is still a prisoner of his own past.

Mr. Bjarnfreðarson

Páll thinks he is just like everyone else, that is until he begins to have vivid visions about life after death. At first he has a open mind about them, but discovers through them an evil plot. The visions show him a spree of killing of important people within society. A panic ensues, and Páll gets tangled in a plot with powerful people and a cult that could destroy society.
