一位電影工作者試圖拍攝一支紀錄片來揭露市議會的腐敗與罪惡，但這項揭露計畫卻為她帶來殺身之禍。

Den unge instruktør My Larsen bliver kontaktet af partiet Venstre, som hyrer hende til at lave en film om Ravnskov kommune og dens borgmester, Svend Balder. Balders metoder tåler ikke altid dagens lys. Og hans svaghed for blondiner giver Mys kamera adgang til hans inderste privatsfære. Men My har også sine egne lig i lasten, og nu må hun overveje, hvor langt hun vil gå for at rydde op i sit eget liv og nå helt til bunds i borgmesterens.

My Larsen is a documentarian in her early thirties. Self-centered and assertive, she likes to challenge and provoke her surroundings. She takes on an unusual assignment to make a film about the conservative township of Ravnsborg, but she learns there is a dark side to life in this small town. Someone is trying to cover up a terrible secret and they will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep My from discovering the truth.
