They soon uncover a web of espionage, betrayal and political deceit trapped between duty and diplomacy, the two women must navigate a dangerous network of secrets before more lives are lost.

Top of the Rock is produced by Kristinn Thordarson, lafsson and gst Freyr Ingason, with Truenorths CEO and Founder Leifur B. Dagfinnsson serving as EP.

Top of the Rock will redefine Icelandic noirs for audiences around the globe, said Kristinn Thordarson, co-svp of film and TV at Truenorth and producer of the series. It will reinvigorate their passion for complex and captivating storytelling in the most picturesque setting.
