The newly elected chairman of the Independence Party, Benedikt, has formed an alliance with the Social Democratic Alliance for the upcoming elections. Unexpectedly, he announces that he will resign if there is not a 90% voter turnout.
As Benedikt refuses to accept the position as Prime Minister, other powers consider their options. He gains international attention by using Twitter to try and convince the nation to form a coalition agreement.
Benedikt heads to his hometown in northern Iceland so sign permits to build a hotel resort. He meets his ex-girlfriend, who aims to get him to reject the construction.
Benedikt's wife's family convinces his father to try and remove his legal autonomy in court. Meanwhile, an EU delegation arrives to oppose the plan to unilaterally adopt the euro.
