Five years of occupation during WW2 ends in Norway. Vidkun Quisling is in prison for treason and is to be held accountable for his actions. Can a priest help him find peace of mind? Can the traitor with big thoughts about himself repent?

Questions of justice and accountability permeate this bracing account of events following Norway’s liberation in 1945. With Quisling awaiting trial, a pastor named Peder Olsen begins a series of meetings that officials hope will extract a measure of contrition from the defiant politician. This man of faith will be shaken by his task.

The Norwegian, Vidkun Quisling was so synonymous with helping the enemy that his name made it into English dictionaries. Deservedly so, as Quisling asked Hitler to occupy Norway and was functioning as Prime Minister of Norway when Hitler did just that. When the German occupation of Norway ended after five years, it was time for rebuilding and healing, but Quisling had to be held accountable for his war crimes. With the story of Quisling’s last days, we get a condensed insight into a psychological and claustrophobic battle about truth and lies, faith and doubt.
