Description

Reykjavík v létě 1972 doslova pulzuje. Všude je cítit nervozita a napětí. Celé město žije mistrovstvím světa v šachu, protože uprostřed studené války se Rus Boris Spasskij utkává se svým americkým vyzyvatelem Bobbym Fischerem. Když přípravy na jejich duel vrcholí, je v jednom z kin nalezen mrtvý mladík. Probodnutý nožem. Všichni jsou tím šokováni. Z jakého důvodu by někdo vraždil patnáctiletého chlapce? Má jeho tragická smrt něco do činění s duelem velmocí na šachovnici? Nebo za tímto strašným činem vězí něco úplně jiného?
