About 100 Code (12 x 1 hour)

From Oscar winner Bobby Moresco (Crash) and starring Michael Nyqvist and Dominic Monaghan. Set in New York and Stockholm, young, blonde and blue-eyed women have been turning up dead in fields of flowers. Through a special dispensation from the NYPD, Detective Tommy Conley (Dominic Monaghan - Lost, Lord of the Rings) is permitted to observe and advise the Stockholm PD. Upon arrival in Sweden, he is paired with Mikael Eklund (Michael Nyqvist - The Millennium series, John Wick), a by-the-book Swedish cop with an aversion to American culture. Both hate each other, but the two are quickly forced to resolve their differences as the mysterious killings continue. Work aside, both cops are fighting demons from their past. Conleys guilt over his girlfriend Maggies death continues to haunt him. And Eklunds need to be a better father to his daughter, Hanna (Felice Jankell - Alena), proves a challenge as the investigation intensifies and he falls back into old patterns of behavior. As the web of shocking murders continues, Conley and Eklund are led down a path of no return in their hunt for the vicious killer.

100 Code is produced by 100 Code AB & Zen Productions in association with Fabrik Entertainment, Red Arrow International and Strix Drama for Kanal 5 and Sky Deutschland.
